GSP login problem without 'real console'

yyghp — Thu, 08 Jan 2004 12:07:33 GMT

I try to stop the amber ATTN light, so, I need to go to GSP and read those logs. But I was asked for entering the account info for Service Processor Login, I couldn't go further to the GSP prompt ( GSP> ). So, what's the default account for that?
As someone mentioned in this forum that: "Log on to the "real" console, press CTRL-B, you can then enter the GSP without passwords (only possible at a real console)". I wonder what he mean 'real console', is that 'ASCII Terminal' ?
We didn't buy this from the vender, and I am using a laptop connecting to GSP now.
So, what else I can do to stop the amber LED ?

And another question, if I reset GSP, will the system reboot ? because I don't want to reboot the system.

Thanks !

Your friend meant "real console" as a serial-connected console, like your terminal session on your laptop as opposed to a telnet session, etc.

It sounds like your laptop's terminal software is acting as the "real console". At the laptop terminal software session (console) hit (at your login screen,etc. that is showing) and then . Type "sl" to show logs (depdending on the firmware) hit "a" for activity logs, and "n" for filter options... if you go through those the activity light should turn off...

The GSP default should be
enter, enter (no login, no password)
or
Admin,admin
depending on the model.

Reseting the GSP should not effect the server. It's a seperate service processor. I've heard that the GSP can even be removed and the system will still run, but I've never had a chance to try that.

Systems can run with no impact to users or other noticable problems with the GSP totally hung/unresponsive.
