Note:
Express5800/1000 Series and the Service Processor is by using a telnet utility.
Multiple instances of the telnet utility can be running at once, providing multiple
windows with which to monitor and control the system. These utilities also
provide logging features, which can be very useful in back-tracking system
settings and status reports. Be sure to set VT100 emulation mode.

Console Operations

You can use the consoles to:
!
Operate the service processor using SP commands
!
Redirect the operating system (BIOS) serial console (in main chassis)
!
Display the Virtual SOP (Virtual System Operator Panel).

Console Status and Login Authentication

To use the consoles, you must first log into the service processor. When you log into the
service processor, the iSP Main Menu appears.
From the iSP Main Menu, you can switch to one of the following functions:
!
Virtual SOP – displays the system operating state for each partition with periodic
updates.
!
OS Console – redirects the serial input/output for the operating system (including
BIOS).
!
SP Command Console – allows you to monitor service processor output
messages required for system operation and maintenance and to enter commands
for the service processor. The SP Command Console lets you run commands
required for system operation.
Table 3-2 lists the login account and login password default values for entering the
Main Menu and using menu functions.
