Chapter 3. Using the Service ProcessorThe service processor menus enable you to configure service processor options and toenable and disable functions.Service processor menus are available using an ASCII terminal when the server isturned off and the service processor is operating with standby power. Service processormenus are also available when server power is on and the service processor hasdetected a server problem (such as loss of surveillance).During the first power-up (that is, the power cord is plugged into the outlet), serviceprocessor menus are not available for 45 seconds while the service processor isrunning self-tests and initializing the server. If the server powers down, serviceprocessor menus become available after 15 seconds.For a summary of the service processor functions and the methods for invoking them,see the table below.Service Processor Functions ServiceProcessorMenus (ASCIIterminals)AIX ServiceAids (ASCII orgraphicsterminals)SMS (ASCII orgraphicsterminals)View System Environmental Conditions Y3Read System POST Errors Y3Read Service Processor Error Logs Y3View Progress Indicators from last Boot Y3Power-on System Y 3Power-off System Y 2Read NVRAM Y 2Reset Service Processor Y2Setup Reboot/Restart Policy Y2Start Talk Mode Y 2Enable/Disable Console Mirroring Y2 Y1Select Modem Line Speed Y2 Y1Enable/Disable Modem Y2 Y1Setup Modem Configuration Y2 Y1Setup Ring Indicate Power-On Y2 Y1Setup Dial-out Phone Numbers Y2 Y1Setup Surveillance Y 2 Y1Update Service Processor Flash EPROM Y2 Y1 Y 2Change General-Access Password Y2 Y 2Change Privileged-Access Password Y2 Y 241
