Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) Boot Manager
EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) is an OS and platform-independent boot and preboot interface. EFI lies
between the OS and platform firmware, allowing the OS to boot without having details about the underlying
hardware and firmware. EFI supports boot devices; uses a flat memory model; and hides platform and
firmware details from the OS.
NOTE
EFI and Pre-OS System Environment (POSSE) are similar. EFI is an Intel specification,
whereas POSSE is the HP implementation that aids HP support.
EFI consolidates boot utilities found in PA-RISC based systems, such as the Boot Console Handler (BCH),
and platform firmware into a single platform firmware. EFI allows the selection of any EFI OS loader from
any boot medium that is supported by EFI boot services. An EFI OS loader supports multiple options on the
user interface.
EFI supports booting from media that contain an EFI OS loader or an EFI-defined System Partition. An
EFI-defined System Partition is required by EFI to boot from a block device.

Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) Boot Manager
34
The EFI boot manager loads EFI applications (including OS first stage loader) and EFI drivers from an
EFI-defined file system or image loading service. NVRAM variables point to the file to be loaded. These
variables contain application-specific data that is passed directly to the EFI application. EFI variables
provides system firmware a boot menu that points to all the operating systems, even multiple versions of the
same operating systems.
The EFI boot manager allows you to control the server’s booting environment. Depending on how you have
configured the boot options, after the server is powered up the boot manager presents you with different ways
to bring up the system. For example, you can boot to the EFI shell, to an operating system located on the
network or residing on media in the server, or the Boot Maintenance menu.
•
Boot from a File—Automatically adds EFI applications as boot options or allows you to boot from a
specific file. When you choose this option, the system searches for an EFI directory. If the EFI directory is
found, then it looks in each of the subdirectories below EFI. In each of those subdirectories, it looks for the
first file that is an executable EFI application. Each of the EFI applications that meet this criterion can
be automatically added as a boot option. In addition, legacy boot options for A: and C: are also added if
those devices are present. You can also launch a specific application without adding it as a boot option. In
this case the EFI boot manager searches the root directories and the \EFI\TOOLS directories of all of the
EFI system partitions present in the system for the specified EFI application.
•
Add a Boot Option—Adds a boot option to the EFI boot manager. You specify the option by providing the
name of the EFI application. Along with the name you can also provide either ASCII or UNICODE
arguments the file might use. Given the EFI application name and any options, the EFI boot manager
searches for the executable file in the same directories as described in “Boot from a File” option. When the
file is found, it is executed.
•
Delete Boot Options—Deletes a specific boot option or all boot options
•
Change Boot Order—Controls the relative order in which the EFI boot manager attempts boot options.
For help on the control key sequences you need for this option, refer to the help menu.
•
Manage BootNext Setting—Selects a boot option to use one time (the next boot operation)
•
Set Automatic Boot Timeout—Defines the value in seconds that pass before the system automatically
boots without user intervention. Setting this value to zero disables the timeout feature.
•
Exit—Returns control to the EFI boot manager main menu. This displays the active boot devices,
including a possible integrated shell (if the implementation is so constructed).

NOTE
EFI and Pre-OS System Environment (POSSE) are similar. EFI is an Intel specification,
whereas POSSE is the HP implementation that aids HP support.
help
Provides information on the EFI shell commands. It also has an additional feature to aid those familiar with
the BCH menus to adjust to their equivalent functions in EFI.
Syntax
help [-b]
help [-b]
help [-b] bch
Parameters
-b
Enable page breaking
category
Category of commands to view help on commands
cmd
Shell command name on which to provide verbose information
bch
Display the list of BCH commands and their corresponding EFI
bchmenu
BCH menu name taken from the top level of the BCH menu
bchcmd
BCH command on which to display information
Operation
If help is invoked with no parameters, it displays a list of shell command categories. To list all of the
commands within a category, the user should type help (see examples). If invoked with the -b
switch, any output longer than one page pauses after each page is displayed. If a shell command name is used
as a parameter, verbose help is displayed for that command.
If help is invoked with the bch option, it displays a list of BCH commands and their corresponding
EFI/POSSE commands. It instructs the user to repeat the command line followed by a menu name for more
information on that menu. If help is invoked followed by bch and a menu name, it displays a list of commands
that appear under that BCH menu. The user may then invoke help followed by bch, the menu name, and a
BCH command name to display information on that command. This would point the user to the command
that has taken the place of that BCH functionality, or will inform the user that the functionality no longer
exists. As a shortcut, the user may enter help followed by bch and a BCH command name to go straight to
that command.

help bch COMMAND
Sets the baud rate and communication settings for a UART.
Syntax
baud
Parameters
0 through the total number of UARTS minus one
baud rate.
Operation
This command is used to change the speed for a UART in the system. This command works for all UARTs
visible to EFI/POSSE. If the UART is part of PDH space and is initialized by the core firmware, this command
communicates the settings to core firmware so the UART can be initialized with the new settings on the next
boot. System default is 9600 baud.
Other Communication parameters are listed in Table 4-2.
boottest
Interacts with the speedy boot variable allowing it to be set appropriately.
Syntax
boottest
Displays status of all speedy boot bits
boottest on
Run all tests (for a normal boot time)
boottest off

state to set the processor to
Operation
Issuing cpuconfig with no parameters displays the config/deconfig status of all processors. A user can
reconfigure CPUs by specifying a CPU number and a state (on or off). If a valid state is entered and is
different from the current state of a CPU, its status changes on the next boot. The last remaining configured
CPU in a system cannot be deconfigured.

In the example above, two SCSI boards are in the listing. The information for both channels of both
SCSI boards is shown in bold, for highlighting purposes.
For each channel of the SCSI board, you need to note certain information. As an example, look at
the information for the first SCSI board (the first two bold lines). For each channel of this SCSI
board, note the following information:
•
Bus #—identifies the bus the device is on; for the SCSI board, this is the same for both
channels. In this example, the bus number is 40.
•
Dev #—the ID the device is assigned on the bus; for the SCSI board, this is the same for both
channels. In this example, the SCSI board is device 01.
Specifying SCSI Parameters
50
•
Fnc #—identifies the channel of the device (00 for channel A, 01 for channel B, and so on). In
this example, because the SCSI board has two channels, one channel is 00 and the other is 01.
•
Vendor ID—shows the device’s vendor ID; for the SCSI board, this is the same for both
channels. For all SCSI board HBAs, the ID is 0x1000.
•
Device ID—shows the device’s device ID; for the SCSI board, this is the same for both
channels. For all SCSI board HBAs, the ID is 0x0021.
•
Slot #—identifies the physical card slot in the system where the HBA is installed; for the SCSI
board, this is the same for both channels. In this example, the HBA is in slot 03.
•
Path—identifies the device’s path; for the SCSI board, this is the same for both channels. In
this example, the HBA’s path is Acpi(HWP0002,200)/Pci(1|0) for channel A and
Acpi(HWP0002,200)/Pci(1|1) for channel B.
Using the SCSI board’s information from the example above, the pieces of information that,
combined, tell you this is a SCSI board are the following (shown in bold, for highlighting purposes):
00
40

Acpi(HWP0002,200)/Pci(1|1)
Looking at all of the above information together, the vendor (0x1000) and device (0x0021) are the
IDs for a SCSI board. Of the devices with those IDs, this device has two channels (Fnc # of 00
immediately followed by Fnc # of 01). Also, this SCSI board has a numeric (non-XX) slot # (03, in
this example).
Step 2. Still at the EFI shell prompt, type this command to obtain the controller’s handle for the SCSI card:
devtree
A tree of all EFI-capable devices installed in the system is displayed. The output could look like
this:
Device Tree
Ctrl[02]
Ctrl[04] Acpi(HWP0002,0)
Ctrl[76] Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(1|0)

Ctrl[09] Acpi(HWP0002,600)
Specifying SCSI Parameters
51
Ctrl[95] LSI Logic Ultra160 SCSI Controller
Ctrl[0A] Acpi(HWP0002,700)
Ctrl[96] Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(1|0)
Ctrl[97] Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(1|1)
Ctrl[98] Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(2|0)
In the above example, this SCSI board’s information is shown in bold, for highlighting purposes.
You can tell the information is for this SCSI board because the path on the first
line—Acpi(HWP0002,200)— is the HBA’s path from the information displayed by the info io
command. The next two lines are for the SCSI board’s two channels, one line for each channel (they
contain the SCSI board’s description [LSI Logic Ultra160 SCSI Controller]). Note the value shown for
Ctrl—82 and 83—at the beginning of each of those lines; this is the controller’s handle for that
channel. You need to know it for the next step.
NOTE
The controller’s handle values will change on every boot.
Step 3. Still at the EFI shell prompt, type this command to obtain the EFI driver’s handle for the SCSI
card:
drvcfg
A list of all EFI-capable configurable components in the system is displayed. The output may look
like this:
Drv[26]
Ctrl[79]
Lang[eng]
Drv[34]

This listing shows which driver controls which device (controller). In the above example, this SCSI
board’s information is shown in bold, for highlighting purposes. You can tell the information is for
this SCSI board because the values shown for Ctrl—82 and 83—are the controller’s handles for the
SCSI board’s two channels (from the information displayed by the devtree command).
NOTE
The EFI driver’s handle values will change on every boot.
TIP
From this command (drvcfg), we recommend you record these two pieces of
information for each channel of each SCSI board HBA you want to change the SCSI
parameters for:
•
Drv (the EFI driver’s handle)
•
Ctrl (the controller’s handle)
Step 4. Using the information (the driver’s handle [Drv] and the controller’s handle [Ctrl]) from the
drvcfg command, start the EFI SCSI Setup Utility for one channel of this SCSI board. Still at the
EFI shell prompt, type this command:
drvcfg -s drvr_handle cntrl_handle
Specifying SCSI Parameters
52
where
•
drvr_handle is the handle of the driver that controls the channel whose SCSI ID you want to
display or change
•
cntrl_handle is the handle of the controller for the channel whose SCSI ID you want to
display or change
So, continuing the example for channel A of this SCSI board, you would type:
drvcfg -s 35 82
Step 5. The EFI SCSI Setup Utility starts and its main menu is displayed, showing a list of all the EFI
capable HBAs in the system.
TIP
To move the cursor in the EFI SCSI Setup Utility, you can use these keys:
•
Arrow keys: ↑ ↓ ← →
•
Alternate keys:
H = left
J = down
K = up
L = right
I = home
O = end
Move the cursor to highlight this channel of this SCSI board; press Enter. (To determine which
channel of the HBA to highlight, match the PCI Bus, PCI Dev, and PCI Func values on this screen
to the Bus #, Dev #, and Fnc # values from the info io command.)
CAUTION
Do not select the option on the main menu.
Step 6. The “Adapter Properties” screen for this channel of this SCSI board is displayed. If you like, you can
make sure the utility is running for this channel of this SCSI board by comparing the values shown
for PCI Bus, PCI Device, and PCI Function to the Bus #, Dev #, and Fnc # values from the
info io command.
CAUTION
Do not change the value for any of these fields on the “Adapter Properties” screen:
•
Auto Termination
•
SCSI Parity
•
SCSI Bus Scan Order
•
Spinup Delay (Secs)
Changing any of these fields can cause unpredictable results.
Specifying SCSI Parameters
53
CAUTION
Do not change the value for any of these fields on the “Device Properties” screen:
•
Scan Id
•
Scan LUNs > 0
•
Disconnect
•
SCSI Timeout
•
Queue Tags
•
Format
•
Verify
Changing any of these fields can cause unpredictable results.
Step 7. You may display (and optionally change) any SCSI parameters listed below for this channel of this
SCSI board, or restore its SCSI parameters to their default values.
•
SCSI ID
•
Maximum data transfer rate
•
Bus width
•
Whether the HBA is bootable (driver support)
•
Avoid bus resets (secondary cluster server)
•
Restore Defaults
Step 8. Use the arrow keys to navigate to the appropriate SCSI parameter.
Step 9. Use the plus (+) and minus (-) keys to scroll through the values until the value you want is
displayed.
Step 10. Press Esc to exit the “Adapter Properties” screen. You are given these choices:
•
Cancel the exit from the screen (to stay in the “Adapter Properties” screen for this channel of
this SCSI board)
•
Save the changes you made and then exit the screen
•
Discard the changes you made and then exit the screen
Step 11. Move the cursor to the action (cancel, save, or discard) you want to take; press Enter.
If you selected cancel, you remain in the “Adapter Properties” screen for this channel of this SCSI
board. You can still change this channel’s parameters listed above.
If you selected save or discard, you are placed in the EFI SCSI Setup Utility’s main menu.
CAUTION
Do not select the option on the main menu.
Step 12. Press Esc to exit the main menu and the EFI SCSI Setup Utility.
Specifying SCSI Parameters
54
Step 13. Select the option for exiting the utility.
Step 14. When you are prompted to, press Enter to stop this SCSI board; you are now back at the EFI shell
prompt.
Step 15. At the EFI shell prompt, type this command:
reset
The system starts to reboot. This is required to cause the new SCSI setting.
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.
Management Processor Command Interface
56
Management Processor Command Interface
Use the management processor menus and commands as needed. The login screen, which includes the Main
Menu, is shown below. Main Menu commands (CO, VFP, CM, CL, CSP, SE, SL, HE, and X) can be entered after the
MP prompt. Commands not displayed in the MP Main Menu can be accessed in command mode by first using
the CM command at the MP prompt. (A list of available commands can be displayed by using the management
processor help function. Display the list of commands as follows: in the MP Main Menu, enter HE after the MP>
prompt, then enter LI after the MP HELP: prompt.) You can return to the MP Main Menu by typing CTRL+B.

•
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 4-19
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 Log—view 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 Mode—enter 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: COnsole—leave 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
60
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 Configuration—reset 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 20. 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.
Management Processor Command Interface
61
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:
Management Processor Command Interface
62
•
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 Status—Display 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 Control—turn 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.
Management Processor Command Interface
63
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 setup—configures 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 status—display 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 options—configures 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.
Management Processor Command Interface
64
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 progress—All events
•
Current boot log—All events between “start of boot” and “boot complete”
•
Previous boot log—The 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
attention LED when it is flashing and alerts have not been acknowledged at the alert display level.
Events are encoded data that provide system information to the user. Some well-known names for similar
data would be Chassis Codes or Post Codes. Events are produced by intelligent hardware modules, the OS,
and system firmware. Use VFP to view the live events. Use SL to view the event log.
Navigate within the logs as follows:
•

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 user’s 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: TEll—sends a message to other terminals
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 Configuration—controls 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
When invoked, this command displays a current summary of system status, including the state of front panel
LEDs.
There are two ways that the live display of events can be started:
1. Live Mode: Invoked from the VFP command at the MP prompt. To exit, type Q to quit the console.
2. Early Boot Mode: When the boot sequence for the system begins, the live VFP is invoked automatically.
When boot finishes, you are automatically switched to console mode.
The LWED state reflects the state of the front panel LEDs. When system power is off, the remote LED shows
“off” even thought remote access may be enabled with the EL or ER commands.
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.

Before removing a cover to service components that cannot be hot-swapped, 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.
Troubleshooting Methodology
Step 1. This is the entry point to the troubleshooting process. Here, you pick from a set of symptoms,
ranging from very simple (System LED is blinking) to the most difficult Machine Check Abort
(MCA) has occured. The following is a list of symptom examples:
•
System LED blinking
•
System Alert present on console
•
System will not power-up
•
System will not boot
•
Event/Error Message received
•
Machine Check Abort (MCA)
Step 2. This step narrows down the observed problem to the specific troubleshooting procedure required.
Here you isolate the failure to a specific part of the server so that you can perform more detailed
troubleshooting. For example:
•
Problem-System LED blinking
—
System Alert on console?
—
Analyze the alert by using the system event log (SEL) to identify the last error logged by
the baseboard management controller. Use either the EFI shell command line interface
(CLI) or the optional management processor card is installed, use the MP commands to
view the SEL.
Step 3. At this point you will have a good idea about which area of the system requires further analysis.
For example, if the symptom was “system will not power-up” then the initial troubleshooting
procedure may have indicated a problem with the DC power supply not coming up after the power
switch was turned on.
Step 4. You have now reached the point where the failed Field Replaceable Unit (FRU or FRUs) have been
identified and need to be replaced. You must now perform the specific remove-and-replace
verification steps.
NOTE
If multiple FRUs are identified as part of the solution, a fix cannot be guaranteed
unless all identified failed FRUs are replaced.
Step 5. There may be specific recovery procedures you need to perform to finish the repair. For example, if
the display panel is replaced, you will need to restore customer-specific information.
This section contains example HP Server problems and their possible solutions.
The system will not power-up.
Step 1. Review the installation procedures for the server. See the hp Integrity rx4640 Installation Guide.
Step 2. Check all power connection cables.
Step 3. Verify that 200-240 VAC power is available at the AC power receptacle. Check the receptacle output
with another device.
Step 4. Check the power supply fans to see if they are operating. The fans will operate off the DC voltage
generated by the power supply.
Step 5. Check that the Power LED on Front Control Panel is illuminated. See“Front Control Panel LEDs”
on page 74.
Step 6. Check all connections from the power supply to the power distribution module.
Step 7. Verify that all cables and modules are correctly connected. Especially check the display panel
connection.
Step 8. If the system starts to power-on and then power-off, a voltage rail of the power supply may be out of
specification. The BMC monitors voltages and prevents power-on when power values are out of
specification.
The system will not boot.
Step 1. Examine the front panel LEDs for warning or fault indications. The system LED will be flashing
yellow with a warning indication and flashing red with a fault indication. See “Front Control Panel
LEDs” on page 74.
Step 2. Examine the QuickFind Diagnostic Panel for indications of specific warning or fault indications.
The diagnostic LEDs present patterns that categorize the source of the warning or fault. See
“QuickFind Diagnostic Panel LEDs” on page 76.
Step 3. Display and examine the system event log (SEL) and forward progress log (FPL) for further
information relating to warning or fault isolation.
Step 4. Review the firmware revisions of all firmware.
Step 5. Use the MP command to cycle the system power: pc off, pc on.
Step 6. Turn the server off, wait at least twenty seconds, then turn the server back on to see if the failure
can be cleared.
Step 7. Check that all DIMMs are seated properly.
Step 8. Check that the DIMM configuration on the system board matches those approved. A minimum of
one DIMM pair must be installed.
Step 9. Verify that the DIMMs are fully seated. When the DIMM is fully seated in the mating connector,
the retaining latches are closed (they should be flush with the front of the DIMM). If the latches are
not closed, reseat the DIMM fully by engaging the retaining latches and closing them fully.
Step 10. Check that the processors are installed in the correct sockets and that each processor has a power
pod installed. Also verify that the processors are of the same type.
Step 11. Check the boot order with the SCSI configuration utility.
Step 12. If there are no obvious errors, reflash the BMC firmware, Refer to Chapter 4, “Utilities.”
Step 13. If the system will still not boot, it may be necessary to replace the base unit.
The system has intermittent failures
Step 1. Examine the front panel LEDs for warning or fault indications. The system LED will be flashing
yellow with a warning indication and flashing red with a fault indication. See “Front Control Panel
LEDs” on page 74.
Step 2. Examine the QuickFind Diagnostic Panel for indications of specific warning or fault indications.
The diagnostic LEDs present patterns that categorize the source of the warning or fault. See
“QuickFind Diagnostic Panel LEDs” on page 76.
Step 3. Display and examine the system event log (SEL) and forward progress log (FPL) for further
information relating to warning or fault indications.
Step 4. Make sure that the system fan assemblies are fully seated.
Step 5. Verify that the server is plugged into a power source that is within specifications described on the
label of the power supply.
Step 6. Make sure that the internal SCSI chain is terminated and that termination is not enabled on any of
the drives. Note that LVD SCSI termination is provided on the cable.
Step 7. Check that the processors are installed in the correct sockets and that terminators are installed in
all unused sockets.
Step 8. Reset the main memory DIMMs.
Step 9. If date and time or customer settings are being cleared, the system board battery may need to be
replaced.
The system LED or Diagnostic LEDs are not on and no error messages appear.
If the server does not work (with no LEDs illuminated) and no error messages appearing, check the following:
Step 1. Make sure that all cables and the AC power cord are plugged into their proper receptacles.
Step 2. Make sure that the AC outlet is working. If the server is plugged into a switched multiple-outlet
box, make sure that the switch on the outlet box is turned on.
Step 3. Make sure that the server is turned on (the power-on light should be green and the fans should be
on).
Step 4. Turn the server off, wait at least twenty seconds, then turn the server back on to see if the failure
can be cleared.
Step 5. Make sure that all boards are installed properly and the processors are installed in the correct slot.
They must be seated firmly in their slots and any cables must be connected firmly.
Step 6. If the server stopped working after you installed a new board, remove the board and turn on the
server. If your server now works, check the installation instructions received with the new board for
correct installation method. If the new board is preventing the server from powering on, it is likely
to have a serious electrical problem.
Step 7. If the server still does not work, remove all boards and options that you have installed (do not
remove the hard disk drives) and turn on the server.
Step 8. Add boards and options one at a time to determine which one is causing the problem.
Step 9. If you have added any memory, make sure that the DIMMs are seated properly in the board. Also
check the DIMM configuration, and that the DIMMs are matched pairs.
Power goes off on the server and does not come back on
When certain critical conditions exist, the server shuts down all power.
The critical conditions that may shut down the server are:
•
Critical temperature fluctuations or changes
•
Voltage problems (external AC line)
•
Power supply failure
If the server powers-off, and before you try a restart, do the following:
Step 1. Examine the front panel LEDs for warning or fault indications. The system LED will be flashing
yellow with a warning indication and flashing red with a fault indication. See “Front Control Panel
LEDs” on page 74.
Step 2. Examine the QuickFind Diagnostic Panel for indications of specific warning or fault indications.
The diagnostic LEDs present patterns that categorize the source of the warning or fault. See
“QuickFind Diagnostic Panel LEDs” on page 76.
Step 3. Check to make sure power is getting to the server. Plug a known working device into the power
outlet.
Step 4. Check for proper ventilation for the server. The server should have at least three inches of space
around the front and rear for proper airflow when installed in a rack.
NOTE
Temperature problems may be caused by a fluctuating power supply.
Step 5. Check the system specifications and make sure the environmental temperature and voltage are in
the specified guidelines.
Step 6. Monitor the system to make sure you are not experiencing further temperature and voltage
problems.

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
operation. You can monitor a hardware device (such as a disk) for the occurrence of any unusual activity
(called an event). When an event occurs, it is reported by a variety of notification methods such as e-mail.
Event detections are handled automatically with minimal involvement on your part.
The following monitors are available:
•
IA-64 core hardware monitor
•
CMC monitor
•
UPS monitor
•
FC hub monitor
•
FC switch monitor
•
Peripheral status monitor
•
Memory monitor
EMS comes with your HP-UX operating system. To bring up the event monitoring main menu, execute the
following command at the shell prompt:
/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig
From the list of main menu selections, choose:
(E) Enable Monitoring
Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE)
ISEE is a remote monitoring software package that can operate on your hp Integrity rx4640. It can deliver,
via the Internet, remote system monitoring and secure remote access from your machine to HP support
engineers. It places a MAP (script) on your machine that can be turned on by HP support to gather system
information. This software can be obtained at http://www.software.hp.com.
