This section describes the Guardian Service Processor (GSP) commands and functions. The Guardian Service Processor is an independent support processor built into the N and A class Core I/O card for the system console that provides some major system manageability features

  • Always-on capability: The GSP is alive if the power cord is plugged in.

  • User/password access control: Supports operator and administrator users

  • Multiple access methods to the GSP:
    Local Port - use terminal or laptop computer for direct connect
    Remote/modem Port - use dedicated modem RS-232 port and external modem
    LAN - use telnet to access GSP LAN port from anywhere

  • Mirrored console: the system console output stream is reflected to all of the connected console users

  • Display and/or logging of:
    The system console, System event logs (chassis codes), Virtual Front Panel (VFP), and system power and configuration status

  • On local and modem ports, an independent, non-mirrored session can be started, either to connect to a GSP, or login to the OS (SE).

  • The GSP provides power control, system reset, and Transfer Of Control (TOC) capabilities.
