Upon completion of this module, you will be able to:• Define the GSP• List three ways to connect to the GSP• Log onto the GSP• Define BCH• Effectively use the VFP (Virtual Front Panel)• View Console Logs• View Chassis Logs• Exit the GSP

Module Objectives

• The GSP is used to monitor activity in the cabinet containing the GSP and every other cabinet in the complex (where more than one SPU cabinet is installed and connected to the GSP).

• Menu driven

What is the GSP?

Connecting to the GSP

There are three ways to connect to the GSP:

• Local RS232 port with a null modem cable

• Remote RS232 using a modem cable over a modem

• LAN connection with laptop running Reflection1 (recommended)

Recommended Console Devices

Customers can choose to supply or purchase one of the following devices to provide LAN Console connection for their Superdome complexes:

Any HP workstation product running HP-UX 11.x Any PC with Windows NT >= 4.0 and Reflection 1

Any PC with Windows 98 or 2000 and Reflection 1

Select Device:

Boot Partition – bo Command

CM> BO releases BIB and allows BCH to finish bootingCM> VFP to determine forward progress

GSP:CM> bo

This command boots the selected partition.

0) mvsd1p0

1) mvsd1p1

Select a partition number: 0

Do you want to boot partition number 0? (Y/[N]) n

-> The selected partition will NOT be booted.

GSP:CM>

Complex Configuration – cc Command

Genesis profile defines cell for partition 0.

Cell chosen should have bootable device attached.

This command allows you to change the complex profile.

WARNING: You must either shut down the OSs for reconfiguration or

execute the RR (reset for reconfiguration) command for all

partitions before executing this command.

G - Build genesis complex profile

L - Restore last complex profile

Select profile to build or restore:

LAN Configuration – lc Command

This command modifies the LAN parameters.

Other Things to Know

• “q” is extremely useful in aborting commands• “Ctrl B” is necessary to exit the console and gain access

to GSP Main Menu

Virtual Front Panel

E indicates error since last boot

# Partition state Activity

- --------------- --------

0 HPUX heartbeat: *

When bringing a system up, it is useful to open three windows:

• CM for commands. To determine:– If action is required

– If BIB blocked

• CO for BCH console so when you are ready to go to BCH, you are already there.

• VFP to watch forward progress. You can see what's happening, where's its booting, and what boot process you are at.
