Set or Change Network Settings of Management Processor

Set or Change Network settings of Management Processor

What is Management Processor?  

The management processor is an independent support system for the server. It provides a way to connect to a server and perform administration or monitoring tasks for the server hardware.
The management processor controls power, reset, Transfer of Control (TOC) capabilities, provides console access, displays and records system events, and can display detailed information about the various internal subsystems. The management processor also provides a virtual front panel that can be used to monitor system status and see the state of front panel LEDs. All MP functions are available via the LAN, local RS-232 and remote RS-232 ports.
The management processor is available whenever the system is connected to a power source, even if the server main power switch is in the off position.


Note : If you are accessing MP for first time and want to set all parameters like hostname, IP Address, subnet and gateway you will have to connect to MP via console cable and set it's parameters 
and If it is already configured then you can access it via telnet or ssh and change its parameters. 



When you will login to MP, you will find that menu 


MP MAIN MENU:

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