lanscan and ioscan -funC are displaying lan port only. How to display MP information?
Telneting MP port via IP is not working. So we were thinking of changing MP IP address...

Ok...here's my 'guess'. You have to hook a terminal up to the appropriate port on the MP. Usually this is a 9 pin terminal port. Once this is done, log into the MP, (default user-name password is Admin/Admin.)

Once at the MAin menu, type cm for Command Menu, and then lc to change the network parameters of the MP.

Hope this helps.

I don't have the proper cable to connect my laptop to the MP port.I have the console connected and have root access :-). Can we display the MP information from root account or console ?

To my knowledge, you cannot do this. Is the entry in your /etc/hosts file?

Hm, you are connected to the console via a serial cable?
I would expect to get the MP by pressing CTRL b. What type of server is it?

Hi HPquestion (* man *)
(* the question man / woman *) :-)

Here's what you want:

http://docs.hp.com/en/A5201-90017/apas01.html

Most important commands that an SA will need are these:

RS - reboot server when O/S is non-responsive

TC - Transfer of Control. This is a firmware reset. The same as RS, unless you're using nPars. Makes a difference then.

HE - Help. List of all commands related to the sub level / sub directory that you are currently in.

SYSREV - Display a list of all firmware versions. (* good one *)

PS - check your redundent power modules. This one is used a lot.

MA - Return to Main Menu.

CO - return to O/S (* console *)

CTRL-B - Enter the GSP / MP
