2.4.1.3.Console Status and Login Authentication
To gain access to console operation, you must first login to the iSP.
When you login to the iSP, the Main Menu opens. The Main Menu has three options: i.e. Virtual SOP, OS Console, and SP Command Console.
•Virtual SOP provides periodical updates to system operation status for each partition.
•OS Console redirects serial I/Os as viewed from the OS (including BIOS).
•SP Command Console lets you monitor iSP messages for system or maintenance operations and enter commands into the iSP. Only the commands required for system operation can be executed on the SP Command Console.

The numbers of consoles that can be attached to the system at a time are: Up to one OS Console for each partition; up to nine Virtual SOPs and up to one SP Command Console throughout the entire system.
OS Console and SP Command Console include two types: i.e. one that allows console input (with operational authority) and the other that only allows message displays (with no operational authority). The OS Console that is first attached to the specified partition is given operational authority. Similarly, the SP Command Console that is first attached to the system is given operational authority. Once a console is attached with no operational authority given to it, it cannot acquire operational authority until the existing console with operational authority is disconnected or its operational authority is removed in the Main Menu.
If key entry is attempted on a console without operational authority, it will output the message, “This console is mirror console.”
