Viewing/Changin MP Credentials through HP-UX

[Simon McDermott]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to view or change the MP login credentials over HP-UX. Our development server MP cannot be logged into

Thanks,

Simon

Shalom,

In an emergency, you can connect a serial console to the system via a cable in the back. You can connect and then ctrl-b to get on the MP device and then change credentials according to the menu.

In place password protection will still need to be dealt with.

Hi Simon,

I don't think so its possible to change or view MP login credentials over HP-UX. Connect serial cable to your machine or access it through MP IP and follow the procedure to change the MP credentials.

Login with

MP login: Admin
MP password: *****

[testserver2] MP:CM>SA : Set MP Access
[testserver2] MP:CM>SO : Security Options
[testserver2] MP:CM>UC : User Configuration

For your case
[testserver2] MP:CM> UC
This command allows you to modify the user configuration.


User Configuration Menu:
L - List current users
N - Add a New user
C - Change a current user
D - Delete a current user

Enter menu item or [Q] to Quit:C

and change the password using the "P" key.

Hi Simon,
HP-UX doesn't have a option to change MP settings.
You have to connect the server using the console port through a remote device or after configuring the MP lan connection.

On some GSP versions (old firmware) there is option to access MP from OS.

See "Accessing Guardian Service Processor Internal Port" from this guide - http://docs.hp.com/en/3687/rp7400_customer_hardwaremanual.pdf

In new firmware releases this is disabled.

Thats the problem.

We set the credentials but for some reason the ain't working.

Its one fo the new rx8640 servers, the suggestion on the older GSP prob won't work

Any suggestions on how we go from here then??

Hi Simon

You can reset the MP settings to factory defaults by pressing th MP reset button on the CORE I/O board for more than 4 seconds. Pressing it for less than that time does a soft reset which reboots the MP but doesn't reset any of the settings.

You will need to reset all the settings including your IP addresses on the MP.
