Description

Power Button

The power switch turns the HP Server AC power on or off.a If sleep states
are available, it also transitions between power-on and sleep states. Sleep
states are NOS dependent and only available if your NOS supports power
management based on the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface) standard.

NMI Button
(Paper clip may be used to
depress button.)

Press the nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) switch before restarting the system
after a hung condition occurs. NMI provides crash dump capture capability.
Obtain a system hardware status dump to use in root cause analysis and
debugging.b

a. Turning off the power button does NOT turn off internal DC power supplies. These DC potentials
are still present until you remove the AC power cords from the rear of the power supply units.
Ensure that you remove the AC power cords from your HP Server before removing or replacing
hardware components (unless they are hot-plug or hot-swap components).
b. The same function is available by using the Management Processor command: CM>TC

Additional Controls and Indicators

Storage devices have additional LEDs showing their status.

Hot-Plug Disk Drive Indicators

The hot-swap disk drives have two LEDs per drive, as described below.

Drive Status LED - The drive status LED is tri-color and may display green, amber, or yellow at any
given time. These colors indicate a normal, warning, or failure condition.

Drive Activity LED - The drive activity LED is green and indicates disk drive activity. This LED is
controlled by the disk drive directly and turns on when a drive is accessed.

Installing Processors and Memory

Installing Memory
Your hp 9000 rp4440 Server comes with a sixteen DIMM memory extender board that is minimally
configured with 1GB of memory (four 256Mb DIMMs loaded in quad 0-(slots 0A,0B,0C,and 0D). See
Figure 4-11, 16 DIMM Extender Board Minimum Configuration.
An optional thirty-two DIMM memory extender board is available to replace the sixteen DIMM memory
extender board and must also be minimally configured with 1GB in quad 0. See Figure 4-12, 32 DIMM
Extender Board Minimum Configuration.
You may insert additional DIMMs into both sixteen and thirty-two DIMM boards. When adding DIMMs, you
must use a minimum of four like-sized DIMMs in the next available quad.
Supported DIMM Sizes
Supported DIMM sizes are 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB. Dissimilar DIMM sizes may be used across the entire
extender board but all four DIMMs in each quad must match. For cooling purposes, DIMM fillers must be
used in unused slots.
DIMM Slot Fillers
Both the sixteen and thirty-two DIMM extender boards have DIMM slot filler boards placed over all unfilled
DIMM slots. As you fill DIMM quads with additional memory you must remove the DIMM slot fillers covering
the affected slots. All remaining DIMM fillers in unused slots must remain in place to maximize internal
cooling. See Table 4-2 on page 51 and Table 4-3 on page 51.

NOTE

50

One DIMM filler board covers two adjacent DIMM slots. As a general rule, only remove DIMM
slot fillers as you add memory and you will always retain the correct configuration.

Hot-Plug PCI/PCI-X

Hot-Plug PCI/PCI-X
The hp 9000 rp4440 Server supports PCI/PCI-X hot-plug technology and offers 6 PCI/PCI-X, hot-plug capable
slots.

Hot-Plug PCI/PCI-X Operations

PCI/PCI-X hot-plug technology enables the following operations. For procedures with step-by-step
instructions describing how to add, replace, delete, and locate PCI/PCI-X cards see Hot-Plug Operation
Procedures on page 60.

Online Addition (OL-A)

You can install new PCI/PCI-X expansion cards in previously empty slots without powering down the
server.

Online Replacement (OL-R)

You can replace a previously occupied slot with a new PCI/PCI-X expansion card by suspending the
driver. This operation combines removing an active card and replacing it with an equivalent capability
card. The existing driver for the old card must be compatible with the new card.

CAUTION

A special OL-R requirement for HP-UX 11i v1 is that the card to be inserted (replaced)
must be exactly the same as the removed card. This is also known as like-for-like
replacement.

PCI/PCI-X Slot Locate (Locate)

To easily locate the PCI/PCI-X slot at which you wish to perform a hot-plug operation, you can command
the attention LEDs, on the OLX divider and the I/O baseboard, to blink and act as visual cues to the
active slot location. This operation is always initiated via a software or web interface, and is optional to
the operating system on your HP Server.

PCI/PCI-X Hardware and Software Interfaces

The following table shows what hot-plug hardware and software interfaces are available on HP-UX 11i v1.

PCI/PCI-X Slot Locations and Configurations

PCI/PCI-X slots are numbered from 1 through 8 in your HP Server. See Figure 4-14, Slot ID Numbering.
The following describes configuration requirements for slots 1 through 8:

PCI slots 1 and 2 are dedicated for use by the core I/O cardsSCSI HBA card in slot 1 and Gigabit
Ethernet LAN card in slot 2. Slots 1 and 2 are not hot-plug capable. Additional PCI/PCI-X expansion
cards may not be placed in slots 1 or 2.

Slot 3 and 4 is the first pair of shared slots, and slot 5 and 6 is the second pair of shared slots. The
maximum capability of each of the shared slots is PCI/PCI-X 66MHz. If a PCI/PCI-X 133 MHz card is
placed in a shared slot, then the maximum capability the PCI/PCI-X 133 MHz card will run at is
PCI/PCI-X 66MHz. If different modes (PCI vs. PCI/PCI-X) or slower speeds (33 MHz) are used, then the
slot to be used will automatically downgrade to accept the change.
Shared slots have card compatibility restrictions. If one of the shared slots is occupied then the card being
added to the second slot is limited by the configuration of the occupied slot. If the new card has a slower
capability than the current bus configuration, it will be rejected. If the new card has a faster capability
than the current bus configuration, it will only run at the bus mode and frequency of the current bus
configuration (slower).
1. If you have a 66 MHz card in slot 3, and you hot-plug insert a 33 Mhz card into slot 4, then the
operation will not succeed. The new 33 MHz card will not initialize and the slot will power down
because you cannot change bus speed during hot-plug operations.

NOTE

If the system is rebooted in the new configuration, then both cards will initialize to run
at 33 MHz. This is because the system firmware can only change the bus capability
down to the lowest common value.

2. If you have a 33 MHz card in slot 3, and you hot-plug insert a 66 Mhz card into slot 4, it will work but
the new card will run at 33 MHz. This also applies to slots 5 and 6, as they are shared (both use a
common bus).
3. If your unit is powered down, and you insert a 33 MHz card into slot 4 (that shares a 66 MHz card in
slot 3), then both cards will run at 33 MHz when the unit is powered up. This also applies to slots 5
and 6, as they are shared (both use a common bus).

Slots 7 and 8 are single slots. The maximum capability of each slot is PCI/PCI-X 133MH. Only slots 7 and
8 will allow 133 Mhz, PCI/PCI-X cards to run at full speed. These two slots are not limited by bus-mode,
frequency-related incompatibilities.

Hot-Plug Operation Procedures

The hot-plug procedures described in this section will use the hardware interface only. Software interface
procedures are described in Table 4-4 on page 56.

CAUTION

Before adding or replacing a PCI/PCI-X card, determine if that card is critical to your systems
operation. If you replace a card that is still operating and it is a critical resource to your system,
you may cause undesired system downtime.

Online Addition-(OL-A)
Before installing a PCI/PCI-X card, ensure that the proper drivers for that PCI/PCI-X card are installed.
To add a PCI/PCI-X card into an empty slot, perform the following steps:
Step 1. If rack mounted, slide the HP Server out from the rack until it stops. See Accessing a Rack
Mounted Server on page 121.
Step 2. Remove the top cover from the chassis. See Removing the Top Cover on page 129.
Step 3. Turn the PCI/PCI-X card latch on the chassis ~45 degrees CW. See Figure 4-18 on page 65.
Step 4. Pull up on the manual retention latch (MRL) located on the OLX divider until it stops.

CAUTION

Do not pull up on the MRL of a powered-on, occupied slot or your system will crash.
This OL-A procedure is for powering down a powered-on, unoccupied slot only. For a
detailed procedure on how to power down an occupied slot see Online
Replacement-(OL-R).

Step 5. Turn the PCI/PCI-X card latch on the chassis another 45 degrees CW. This fully opens the
PCI/PCI-X card slot for insertion of a new card.
Step 6. If the new card is full length, open the slider gate bracket. See Figure 4-17 on page 64.
Step 7. Ensure that the MRL is already open and insert the PCI/PCI-X card to be added into the empty
slot. See Figure 4-16, Inserting PCI/PCI-X Card.

CAUTION

When inserting the PCI/PCI-X card, be careful you do not accidentally touch an
attention button on the other OLX dividersthis will initiate an undesired
shutdown of another PCI/PCI-X card/slot.
Also, ensure that you fully seat the card into the slot or undesired results may occur
after power is re-applied to the slot.

Step 8. Turn the PCI/PCI-X card latch on the chassis ~45 degrees CCW. See Figure 4-19 on page 65.
Step 9. Push the manual retention latch down until it seats against the chassis wall.
Step 10. Turn the PCI/PCI-X card latch another 45 degrees CCW to capture the PCI/PCI-X card and manual
retention latch into the closed position.
Step 11. If the new card is full length, close the slider gate bracket.

If power to slot is on, the slot is functioning normally.

Troubleshooting PCI/PCI-X Hot-Plug Operations

Sometimes a PCI/PCI-X card will not come online during a hot-plug operation due to a frequency mismatch
between the PCI/PCI-X card and the slot bus or due to other hardware errors. To determine the type of error
you are experiencing, observe the LED activity as described below. For a full understanding and description
of HP-UX 11i v1 hardware errors, read Interface Card OL* Support, Important Considerations,
B2355-90804at [Link]
1. PCI/PCI-X Bus Mode or Frequency Mismatch
After you insert a PCI/PCI-X card into the slot and push the attention button, the power LED goes from
blinking to steady-off and stays at steady-off; This means that the system firmware has rejected the
PCI/PCI-X card and indicates either bus-frequency or bus-mode mismatch.

NOTE

After pushing the attention button, ensure that you wait the full duration of the 5 second
operation cancellation window before taking further action.

2. Hardware Operation Fault

If the PCI/PCI-X card cannot be powered on during a hot-plug addition operation, the attention LED will
turn steady-on and the power LED will go steady-off.

Chapter 4

67

Installing Additional Components and Configuring

Hot-Plug PCI/PCI-X

CAUTION

If your card will not power up, the power loss may be due to the existing PCI/PCI-X
expansion cards using all the available power. Check the power ratings of your existing
PCI/PCI-X cards. A known cause of power loss is the use of more than 3PCI/PCI-X RAID
cards in your system. Therefore, do not use more than 2 RAID cards in any of the slots in
your HP Server

If the PCI/PCI-X card cannot be powered off during a hot-plug removal operation, the attention button
will turn steady-on and the power LED will remain steady-on.

CAUTION

68

If your slot does not power off during a hot-plug removal operation, do not open the manual
retention latch (MRL) on the OLX divider. This action causes system failure or operating
system crashes.

Converting SCSI From Simplex to Duplex

Converting SCSI From Simplex to Duplex

This section explains how to convert your hp 9000 rp4440 Server from simplex to duplex operation. The
process involves removing a jumper, installing a duplex PCA card, and plugging in the stowed channel B
cable to the appropriate sockets.

Safety Information
Follow the procedures listed below to ensure safe handling of components and to prevent harm to both you
and the HP Server:

Use an antistatic wrist strap and a grounding mat, such as those included in the Electrically Conductive
Field Service Grounding Kit (HP 9300-1155).

Handle accessory boards and components by the edges only. Do not touch any metal-edge connectors or
any electrical components on accessory boards.

Do not wear clothing subject to static charge build-up, such as wool or synthetic materials.

WARNING

Hazardous voltages are present inside the HP Server. Always remove AC power from
the server and associated assemblies while working inside the unit. Serious injury
may result if this warning is not observed.

CAUTION

Some restrictions apply to the mass storage devices that may be connected to your core I/O
SCSI HBA. See Core I/O Connections on page 76. If you convert your system to duplex
configuration, you may not install external SCSI devices to the SCSI HBA core I/O controller.

Accessing the SCSI Backplane Board

Prior to adding the accessories required to convert your hp 9000 rp4440 Server from simplex to duplex you
must remove outer components to access the SCSI backplane board. To gain access to the SCSI backplane
board perform the following steps:

WARNING

Hazardous voltages are present inside the HP Server. Always remove the AC power
cords from the server and associated assemblies while working inside the unit.
Serious injury may result if this warning is not observed.

Step 1. If rack mounted, slide the HP Server out from the rack until it stops. See Accessing a Rack
Mounted Server on page 121.

NOTE

If your HP Server is rackless, you need not remove the tubular stand to perform the
simplex to duplex conversion. Proceed directly to the next step.

Step 2. Remove the front bezel. See Front Bezel on page 124.
Step 3. Remove the front cover. See Removing the Front Cover on page 127.

Chapter 4

Installing Additional Components and Configuring

Converting SCSI From Simplex to Duplex

Convert to Duplex
To convert to duplex, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Remove the SCSI Jumper Cable. A SCSI jumper cable bridges the two SCSI connectors on the SCSI
backplane when the server is configured for simplex operation. This jumper must be removed in
order to install the duplex board and to connect the SCSI B cable. See Figure 4-20, Removing the
SCSI Jumper Cable.

Figure 4-20Removing the SCSI Jumper Cable

Step 2. Install the duplex board. The duplex board is installed in the SCSI connector located nearest the
disk drive cage. The duplex board is shipped with a duplex board bracket attached. When the
duplex board is properly installed, it is secured to the disk drive cage by the bracket and to the
SCSI backplane board by the SCSI connector sockets. See Figure 4-21, Installing the Duplex
Board.

Chapter 4

71

Installing Additional Components and Configuring

Converting SCSI From Simplex to Duplex

NOTE

In simplex mode, both hard disk drives, slot 0 and slot 1, are driven by SCSI channel
A. When the duplex board is installed, slot 1 hard disk drive is now driven by SCSI
channel B. If HP-UX was previously installed and whole disk vxfs was not used,
the system will no longer boot. Refer to the HP-UX Installation Guide for further
information.

Align the bracket tabs with the slots on the side of the disk drive cage.

Press the bracket against the disk drive cage until the bracket locks into place.

Align the connector of the duplex board with the connector on the SCSI backplane.

Press the board connector into the backplane connector.

Management Processor (MP)

The management processor is an independent support system for the server. It provides a way for you to
connect to your HP Server and perform administration or monitoring tasks for the server hardware.
The management processor controls power, reset, transfer of control (TOC) capabilities, provides console
access, displays and records system events, and can display detailed information about the various internal
subsystems. The management processor also provides a virtual front panel that can be used to monitor the
front panel LEDs from a remote location.
The management processor is available whenever the system is connected to a power source, even if the hp
9000 rp4440 Server main power switch is in the off position.
Access to the management processor can be restricted by user accounts. User accounts can be
password-protected and provide a specific level of access to the server and management processor commands.
Multiple users can interact with the management processor. From the MP Main Menu users can select any of
the following options: enter management processor command mode, enter console, view event logs, view
console history, display virtual front panel, enter console session, or connect to another management
processor. Multiple users can select different options from the MP Main Menu at the same time. However,
management processor command mode and console mode are mirrored. The MP allows only one user at a
time to have write access to the shared console.

Accessing the Management Processor

You can connect to the management processor using the following methods:

The local serial port using a local terminal

The remote console server management port (CSM) using external modem (dial-up) access, if remote
modem access is configured

The management processor LAN port using web console or telnet, if login access through the
management processor LAN is enabled

Local Terminal Access to the Management Processor

Communication with the management processor is established by connecting a terminal to the local CSM I/O
serial port.
A terminal session may be established using a standalone terminal, or using terminal emulation software
such as Reflection 1 running on a PC.
During installation, communicating with the management processor enables such tasks as:

Verifying that the components are present and installed correctly

Setting the LAN IP addresses

Setting Terminal Parameters

After powering on the terminal, ensure the communications settings are as follows:

8/none (parity)

9600 baud

None (receive)

None (transmit)

Chapter 4

77

Installing Additional Components and Configuring

Core I/O Connections
If the terminal is a PC using Reflection 1, check or change these communications settings by performing the
following steps:
Step 1. From the Reflection 1 Main screen, pull down the Connection menu and select Connection Setup.
Step 2. Select Serial Port.
Step 3. Select Com1.
Step 4. Check the settings and change, if required.
Go to More Settings to set Xon/Xoff. Click OK to close the More Settings window.
Step 5. Click OK to close the Connection Setup window.
Step 6. Pull down the Setup menu and select Terminal (under the Emulation tab).
Step 7. Select a supported terminal type.
The preferred type is VT100.
Step 8. Click Apply.
This option is not highlighted if the terminal type you want is already selected.
Step 9. Click OK.
Network Access to the Management Processor
By connecting the management processor LAN port to an active network, another host on the same subnet
can set the management processor IP address via the ping command. After the IP address has been set, a
telnet session can be established to configure additional parameters.
To configure the management processor LAN IP address, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Determine the medium access control (MAC) address of the management processor LAN interface
by viewing the label located at the rear of the server
Step 2. Connect a LAN cable on your local subnet to the core I/O LAN port found directly above the two
USB ports.
Step 3. Add an address resolution protocol (ARP) table entry to another host located on your local subnet.
This ARP table entry will map the MAC address of the core I/O LAN interface to the IP address
chosen for that interface.

NOTE

Adding an entry to the ARP table is typically done using the ARP command with the
appropriate option. For example, arp -s is used with Windows. Consult your
operating system documentation for more information.

Step 4. Use the ping command from the host that has the new ARP table entry. The destination address is
the IP address that is mapped to the MAC address of the management processor. The management
processor LAN port should now be configured with the appropriate IP address.
Step 5. Use the telnet command to connect to the management processor from a host on the local subnet.
Interacting with the Management Processor
To interact with the management processor, perform the following steps:

Booting the Server

Booting the Server

To boot the server, perform the following step.
1. Depress the power switch located to the left of the front panel LEDs.

NOTE

If the front bezel is attached and in the closed position, you will need to open the small door on
the front bezel to gain access to the power switch.

If the autoboot function is enabled, the system will boot to the installed operating system. If autoboot is not
enabled, the system will enter the boot console handler (BCH). The BCH allows you to control the servers
booting environment. For more information about the BCH review Chapter 5, Utilities.

5 Utilities

Boot Console Handler (BCH)

The boot console handler (BCH) is separate code in processor dependent code (PDC).It has two purposes:

It lets the bootstrap code know which path to boot from.

It allows you to interact with PDC to view and/or modify a set of specific system parameters.

Booting is accomplished in the standard PA RISC manner but may be transparent (depending on the state of
the autoflags [boot, search, and start]). If the autoflags are clear and you override autobooting, a boot
sequence will end up in the interactive portion of BCH where modification and/or viewing of some system
parameters is possible.

NOTE

When the autostart flag is off, autoboots will be interrupted if a configuration change occurs
which causes reduced performance; thus requiring you to intervene prior to booting to the
internal system loader (ISL).
The auto boot will halt at the BCH prompt and you may continue booting by entering boot.

BCH Commands
In the interactive portion of BCH there is a Main Menu and five submenus.

Management Processor

Management Processor
The management processor is an independent support system for the server. It provides a way for you to
connect to a server and perform administration or monitoring tasks for the server hardware.
The management processor controls power, reset, Transfer of Control (TOC) capabilities, provides console
access, displays and records system events, and can display detailed information about the various internal
subsystems. The management processor also provides a virtual front panel that can be used to monitor
system status and see the state of front panel LEDs. All MP functions are available via the LAN, local RS-232
and remote RS-232 ports.
The management processor is available whenever the system is connected to a power source, even if the
server main power switch is in the off position.
Access to the management processor can be restricted by user accounts. User accounts are
password-protected and provide a specific level of access to the server and management processor commands.
Multiple users can interact with the management processor. From the MP Main Menu users can select any of
the following options: enter management processor command mode, enter console, view event logs, view
console history, display virtual front panel, enter console session, or connect to another management
processor. Multiple users can select different options from the MP Main Menu at the same time. However,
management processor command mode and console mode are mirrored, The MP allows only one user at a
time to have write access to the shared console.

Accessing the Management Processor

You can connect to the management processor using the following methods:

The local RS-232C port using a local terminal

The remote RS-232C port using external modem (dial-up) access, if remote modem access is configured

The management processor LAN port using Web Console or telnet if login access through the
management processor LAN is enabled

Interacting with the Management Processor

To interact with the management processor, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Log in using your management processor user account name and password.

NOTE

If the management processor is not displaying the MP Main Menu, use CTRL+B to
access the MP Main Menu and the management processor (MP) prompt.

Step 2. Use the management processor menus and commands as needed. A list of available commands can
be displayed by using the management processor help function (in the MP Main Menu, enter HE
followed by LI at the MP HELP: prompt). Log out using the X command (in the MP Main Menu,
enter X at the MP> prompt) when done.

Configure Serial Port Parameters

CA: Configure local and remote serial port parameters
Set up the local serial port parameters as follows:

TERMINAL TYPE: Vt100 vs HPterm

BAUD RATES: Input and output data rates are the same; 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 38400, 115200
bit/sec.

FLOW CONTROL: Hardware uses RTS/CTS; Software uses Xon/Xoff.

TRANSMIT CONFIGURATION STRINGS: Disable this setting whenever the modem being used is not
compatible with the supported modem (MT5634ZBA).

IMPORTANT Do not mix HP and vt100 terminal types at the same time.
Set up the remote serial port parameters as follows:

MODEM PROTOCOL: Bell or CCITT (CCITT is a European standard; RTS/CTS signaling is used, as well
as the Ring signal. Bell is a U.S. or simple mode).

BAUD RATES: Input and output data rates are the same; 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 38400, 115200
bit/sec.

FLOW CONTROL: Hardware uses RTS/CTS; Software uses Xon/Xoff.

94

Chapter 5

Utilities
Management Processor Command Interface

TRANSMIT CONFIGURATION STRINGS: Disable this setting whenever the modem being used is not
compatible with the supported modem (MT5634ZBA).

MODEM PRESENCE: When the modem may not always be connected, set this parameter to not always
connected.
For example: A modem attached through a switch. In mode not always connected, no dial-out functions
are allowed: DIAL-BACK is disabled, and PAGING is not possible.

The MP mirrors the system console to the MP local, remote/modem, and LAN ports. One console output
stream is reflected to all of the connected console users. If several different terminal types are used
simultaneously by the users, some users may see strange results.
Example 5-1

HP-UX

Applications that care about the terminal type (install, SAM, vi, and so on) running on HP-UX use three
methods to determine the terminal type:
1. The application takes the terminal information from the OS. This value is set in the CA command and
takes effect for all MP ports.
2. The $TERM shell environment variable.
3. The application directly queries the terminal (in this case, the write enabled terminal establishes the
terminal type).
Make sure that settings #1 and #2 agree with your terminal type.

Certificate Generate
CG: Generate RSA key pair or Self Signed Certificate
This command generates a new RSA key pair and self signed certificate.

Console Log
CL: Console Logview the history of the Console output
This command displays up to 60 Kilobytes of logged console data (about 60 pages of display in text mode) sent
from the system to the Console path.

Command Mode
CM: Command Modeenter command mode
This command switches the console terminal from the MP Main Menu to mirrored command interface mode.
If the current mux authority is administrator and the new login is as an operator, the command mux will be
denied (remains in MP Main Menu mode). If a command is in progress, a message will be displayed warning
the new user of system status.

Console
CO: COnsoleleave command mode and enter console mode
This command switches the console terminal from the MP Main Menu to mirrored/redirected console mode.
All mirrored data is displayed. Type CTRL+B to return to the MP command interface.
For VT100 and HPTERM, verify that the MP setting in the CA command is correct and all mirrored consoles
are of the same terminal type for proper operation.

Management Processor Command Interface

Connect to Service Processor

CSP: Connect to remote management processor over the LAN
This command allows the local or remote port user to connect over the MP LAN to another MP on the
network. The user that launches the command is given a private connection to the other MP over the LAN. To
return to the original MP, type CTRL+] to disconnect the CSP session.

Date
DATE: Displays the current date, as generated in the MP real-time clock.

Default Configuration
DC: Default Configurationreset all MP parameters to the default configuration
This command sets all MP parameters back to their default values. The user may reset all or a subset of the
following parameters:

IP configurations

Modem configuration

Paging configuration

Command Interface configuration

Disable remote access, security configuration

Session configuration. For example: setting the security configuration to default erases all users and
passwords.

There are three ways to reset passwords in the MP:

1. In the SO command, change individual users.
2. In the DC command choose Reset Security Configuration.
3. Forgotten passwords can be reset by pressing the reset button on the back panel of your HP Server. See
Figure 2-7 on page 22. After the MP reboots, the local console terminal displays a message for five
seconds. Responding to this message in time will allow a local user to reset the passwords.
Notice that all user information (logins, passwords, and so on) is erased in methods 2 and 3.

Display FRUID
DF: Display FRUID information
This command displays FRUID information from the BMC for FRU devices. Information provided includes
serial number; part number; model designation; name and version number; and manufacturer.

Disconnect Remote or LAN Console

DI: DIsconnect remote/modem or LAN/WEB console
This command disconnects (hang up) the remote/modem or LAN/WEB users from MP. It does not disable the
ports. The remote console is no longer mirrored.

96

Chapter 5

Utilities
Management Processor Command Interface

Front Panel Process

FP: Turn off front panel fault or attention LEDs
This command allows the user to control the state of front panel fault and attention LEDs, individually or
together.

MP Firmware Update
FW: Activates MP firmware upgrade mode
This command is available from either the LAN or local serial port. This command activates firmware
upgrade mode, which loads new firmware through the MP LAN by FTP (which must be operational). An MP
Reset is generated after the upgrade is complete.

Help
HE: Display help for menu or command
This command displays the MP hardware and firmware version identity, and the date and time of firmware
generation. If executed from the MP Main Menu, general information about the MP, and those commands
displayed in the MP Main Menu, will be displayed. If executed in command mode, this command displays a
list of command interface commands available to the user. It also displays detailed help information in
response to a topic or command at the help prompt.

Display System ID
ID: Display/modify system information
This command allows the user to display and modify the following:

SNMP contact information

SNMP server information

SPU hostname

Inactivity Timeout
IT: Inactivity Timeout settings
The session inactivity timeout is up to 1,440 minutes - default is 60 minutes. This timeout prevents sessions
to the system from being inadvertently left open. A session can be started by the SE command. An open
session can prevent users from logging onto the MP through a port and can also prevent system applications
from initiating an outbound connection.
MP inactivity timeout is up to 1,440 minutes - default is 5 minutes. This timeout prevents a user from
inadvertently keeping the MP locked in a MP Command Interface mode preventing other users from looking
at the console output. The MP Command Interface inactivity. timeout may not be deactivated.
Flow control timeout is 0 to 60 minutes. If set to 0, no timeout is applied. This timeout prevents mirrored flow
control from blocking other ports when inactive.

Configure LAN Console

LC: LAN configuration (IP address, and so on)
This command displays and allows modification of the LAN configuration. Configurable parameters include:

Chapter 5

97

Utilities
Management Processor Command Interface

MP IP Address

MP Host Name

Subnet Mask

Gateway Address

Web Console port number

Link State

The MP Host Name set in this command is displayed at the MP command interface prompt. Typically the
DNS name for the LAN IP is entered.
This field can be programmed to any useful name or phrase. For clarity, it is useful to enter MP-on-SYSTEM as
the MP Host name, so both names show up in the prompt (limit 19 characters, no spaces allowed.) The web
access port number is also set by this command.

LAN Status
LS: LAN Status
This command displays all parameters and the current status of the MP LAN connections. The LAN
parameters are not modified by the execution of this command.

Return to Main Menu

MA: Return to MP Main Menu
This command makes the MP return to the nonmirrored MP Main Menu. This is the same as executing
CTRL+B.

Modem Reset
MR: Modem Reset
This command makes the MP send an AT Z command to the modem, which resets it. Any modem connections
are lost. The initialization results can be viewed via the MS command.

Modem Status
MS: Modem StatusDisplay modem status
The MS command displays the state of the modem lines connected to the remote/modem serial port. The
display can be updated by pressing Enter. The current state of the status signals DCD, CTS, DSR, RI and the
last state of the control signals DTR, RTS set by the firmware are displayed.

Power Control
PC: Power Controlturn system power on and off
For proper system shutdown, shutdown the OS before issuing this command or use the commands graceful
shutdown option.
This command allows you to switch the system power on or off. the user can have the action take place
immediately or after a specified delay.

98

Chapter 5

Utilities
Management Processor Command Interface
Notice this is roughly the equivalent to turning the system power off at the front panel switch. There is no
signal sent to the OS to bring the software down before power is turned off. To turn the system off properly.
you must ensure that the OS is in the proper shutdown state before issuing this command. Use the proper OS
commands or use the graceful shutdown option of the Remote Power Control command.

Configure Paging
PG: Paging parameter setupconfigures pagers
This command allows the user to configure the pagers and set triggering events.
A string description of the triggering event will be sent with the page.

Power Status
PS: Power statusdisplay the status of the power management module
This command displays on the console the status of the power management module.

Reset BMC
RB: Reset BMC
This command resets the BMC by toggling a GPIO pin.

Reset System
RS: Reset system through RST signal

IMPORTANT Under normal operation, shut down the OS before issuing this command.
This command causes the system (except the MP) to be reset through the RST signal.
Execution of this command irrecoverably halts all system processing and I/O activity and restarts the
computer system. The effect of this command is very similar to cycling the system power. The OS is not
notified, no dump is taken on the way down, and so on.

Set Access
SA: Set access optionsconfigures access for LAN and remote/modem ports
This command will disconnect modem, LAN, and web users if access is disabled.

Create Local Session

SE: Log into the system on local or remote port
Only valid from the local or remote/modem port, SE allows the user to leave the MP Command Interface and
enter a system session. Other mirrored MP users are placed in console mode. The session user returns to the
mirrored MP session on exit.
The MP regularly checks the activity of the session, closes the connection with the system, and, if the timeout
period has elapsed, returns the port to mirroring. The timeout period is set with the IT command. On HP-UX,
the SE command works on the local and remote ports.

Chapter 5

99

Utilities
Management Processor Command Interface
In HP-UX, use the System Administration Manager (SAM) to add modem device files for the session UARTS.
The modem type, CCITT or Bell must agree with the remote port settings for the remote session port and
always be Bell mode for the local session port.
If the system and the MP Command Interface local or remote ports have been configured with different port
speeds, the baud rate changes to the rate specified by the OS for the duration of the session.

Display Logs
SL: Display contents of the system status logs
This command displays the contents of the event logs that have been stored in nonvolatile memory.

System Event Log (SEL)High attention events and errors

Forward progressAll events

Current boot logAll events between start of boot and boot complete

Previous boot logThe events from the previous boot

Reading the system event log turns off the attention LED. Accessing this log is the only way to turn off the

Security Options
SO: Configure security options and access control (users, passwords, and so on)
This command modifies the security parameters of the MP, which include login timeouts and allowed
password faults.
If configured, when you access the MP via the modem port, the MP hangs up and dials the user back. This
does not work if Modem Presence is set to not always connected with the CA command.
If the mode is Single, the State is changed to disabled after the first login.
A disabled users login is not accepted.

Firmware Revision Status

SYSREV: Displays the revision status of firmware in the system processors
This command displays the revision status of firmware in the system processors.

System Status
SS: Displays the status of the system processors
The SS command displays the status of the system processors and which processor is the monarch.

Transfer Of Control
TC: System reset through INIT or TOC (Transfer of Control) signal
Under normal operation, shut down the OS before issuing this command.
This command causes the system to be reset through the INIT (or TOC) signal. Execution of this command
irrecoverably halts all system processing and I/O activity and restarts the computer system. It is different
from the RS command in that the processors are signaled to dump state on the way down.

Tell
TE: TEllsends a message to other terminals

Chapter 5

101

Utilities
Management Processor Command Interface
Up to 80 characters can be typed in. The message is broadcast to the other mirrored clients. Users in a session
or CSP are not shown the message.

User Configuration
UC: User Configurationcontrols user access
This command allows an administrator to add, modify, re-enable, or delete user logins. The administrator can
also enable or disable security warnings and change passwords.

Virtual Front Panel

VFP: Display Virtual Front Panel
The VFP command presents a summary of the system by using direct console addressing. If the terminal is
not recognized by the MP, VFP mode will be rejected. Each individual user will get this summary in order to
avoid issues related to terminal type and screen display mode.
This command is executed from the Main Menu. When accessed, VFP displays the current state of the system
including current LED status. The display refreshes at one second intervals.

Who
WHO: Displays a list of MP connected users
This command displays the login name and operating mode (Main Menu, command, and so on) of the
connected console client users, and the port on which they are connected. For the LAN and WEB console
clients the remote IP address is also displayed.
If the local console client user did not originate the MP command interface session, there is always one
default user listed for the local serial port: local user i. If the local console operator types CTRL+B, then the
login name that the local operator used is displayed instead.

Exit from MP
X: Exit from MP command interface and disconnect from the system
This command disconnects the executing user from the system. This command is available from the local
port.

Diagnostics
XD: Diagnostics and/or Reset of MP
This command allows the user to perform some simple checks to confirm the MP's health and its connectivity
status. The following tests are available:

MP Parameter Checksum

Verify I2C connection (get BMC Device ID)

LAN connectivity test using ping

Modem self-tests

Also, the MP can be reset from this command. A MP reset can be safely performed without affecting the
operation of the server.

Troubleshooting Methodology
WARNING

Before removing a cover, always disconnect the AC power cords and unplug
telephone cables. Disconnect telephone cables to avoid exposure to shock hazard
from telephone ringing voltages. Disconnect the AC power cords to avoid exposure
to high energy levels that may cause burns when parts are short-circuited by metal
objects such as tools or jewelry.

CAUTION

Do not operate the HP Server for more than 10 minutes with any cover (including power
supplies and disk drives) removed. Otherwise, damage to system components may result due to
improper cooling airflow.
However, you can safely remove a cover while the HP Server is running to remove and replace
PCI hot-plug boards. For any other service activity requiring access to the system board or
power distribution board, power down the HP Server and observe all safety precautions.

To troubleshoot your system you must be familiar with the HP-UX operating system and be able to start and
stop testing processes. You should also be familiar with Support Tools Manager (STM), which runs in HP-UX,
and the Offline Diagnostics Environment (ODE).
Online troubleshooting programs are available on your HP-UX operating system. Offline troubleshooting
programs are available on the resource CD that is shipped with your HP Server. Both online and offline
troubleshooting tools are also available for downloading at [Link]
Other information that can aid in troubleshooting is contained elsewhere in this document. See Chapter 2,
Controls, Ports, and Indicators, for further information about deciphering all other LEDs in your system.
For information about troubleshooting hot-plug, PCI-X card problems, see Hot-Plug PCI/PCI-X on page 56.

Event Monitoring Service

Event Monitoring Service (EMS) is the framework for monitoring hardware and reporting events. You can
use EMS to eliminate most undetected hardware failures that cause data loss or interruptions of system

Removing and Replacing Components

System Memory DIMMs
Supported DIMM Sizes
Supported DIMM sizes are 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB. Dissimilar DIMM sizes may be used across the entire
extender board but all four DIMMs in each quad must match. For cooling purposes, DIMM fillers must be
used in some unused slots.
DIMM Slot Fillers
Both the sixteen and thirty-two DIMM extender boards have DIMM slot filler boards placed over all unfilled
DIMM slots. As you fill DIMM quads with additional memory you must remove the DIMM slot fillers covering
the affected slots. All remaining DIMM fillers in unused slots must remain in place to maximize internal
cooling. See Table 7-1, DIMM Filler Requirements for 16 DIMM Extender Board.

NOTE

One DIMM filler board covers two adjacent DIMM slots. As a general rule, only remove DIMM
slot fillers as you add memory and the correct configuration will always remain.

This is not a hot-plug operation. Power must be turned off to the entire system prior
to removing and replacing PCI/PCI-X cards in your HP Server.

CAUTION

Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD
safety precautions could result in damage to the server.

NOTE

PCI/PCI-X slots are numbered from 1 through 8, reading left-to-right when looking at the rear
of your HP Server. PCI slots 1 and 2 are dedicated for use by the core I/O cards. The core I/O
functions are shared between two cards; an SCSI HBA card which must be located in slot 1,
and a Gigabit Ethernet LAN which must be located in slot 2. (See Figure 7-23.)

NOTE

If you are installing the Graphics Kit A6150B, use slots 3-8. However, DO NOT install the
included USB card. Your HP Server currently supports USB and the ports are already located
on the rear of your HP Server.
If you are installing the RAID card A7143A, you must install it into slot 8. If you install this
card in any other slot it will interfere with the manual retention latch (MRL) on the OLX
divider in the next higher slot. Because of this interference you are restricted to only two RAID
