getting MP MAIN MENU of server

[praveen..]

Hi,
my server is properly booted and i am able to work on it using telnet / ssh on putty.

we have one web manager login for this server,
when i am trying to connect to this server thru web manager login,
it is showing this:

MP MAIN MENU:

CO: Consoles
VFP: Virtual Front Panel (partition status)
CM: Command Menu
CL: Console Logs
SL: Show Event Logs
HE: Help
X: Exit Connection

[server_hostname] MP>


how will i get the # prompt here?

Note: This server is properly booted and i am able to work on it using telnet / ssh on putty.

Hi,
I am trying to connect thru Cyclades AlterPath Manager TM ACS32.

I believe you have to start by selecting CO (for console). It will then ask you which partition.

Praveen,
You can enter CO to go to console mode and it will ask you for the username and password.

When i go into CO console, it asks for:

MP MAIN MENU:

CO: Consoles
VFP: Virtual Front Panel (partition status)
CM: Command Menu
CL: Console Logs
SL: Show Event Logs
HE: Help
X: Exit Connection

[server_hostname] MP> CO

Partitions available:

Part# Name
----- ----
0) Partition 0
Q) Quit

Please select partition number:


should i type the 0 ?

co is the command to go to Os and If you want to come back to Mp then press Ctrl+B...

This is Management processor and used for collecting logs (cl, sl etc) in case of any failures. This can be used for remote shutdown or powering ON/OFF the server.

Hi Praveen,

You need to type CO or Ctrl-B will help you to reach #.

Yes, type '0' to select that partition.

Since there is just one partition on this machine that is the only one you can log into.

Just to add:

For your normal work you should use telnet/ssh connections. Now you are on the Service/Management processor. You are able now to access the systems console, but you should use this connection for administrative purposes only. Notice the different addresses you are using while connecting via telnet to the OS or via web to the MP.
