SVP console on Server Unit /390

&pagelevel(3)&pagelevel

A Server Unit /390 is operated via the SVP (service processor). Some important SVP functions, for instance for IPL or IORSF, are also available directly on the SE Manager.

Alternatively, SVP functions can be called under menu control on an SVP console via SVP frames. The SVP console is accessed via the SE Manager:

>

Select Systems -> [<se server> (SE<model>) ->] <unit> (SU</390>), SVP console tab.

>

In the SVP console group click Open.

The SVP console window opens.

You can operate the SVP console in the familiar manner. A detailed description of how to operate the SVP is provided in the "Server Unit /390" Operating Manual [2].

SVP console via PuTTY

Alternatively, you can open the SVP console via PuTTY, by using the CLI command svpConsole. A detailed description is provided in chapter "Appendix", section "SVP console on MU or SU /390".

SVP connection in case of redundant Management Units

If an SE server has redundant Management Units, they are displayed in the SVP connection group: One MU is always Active with respect to SVP operating, and the other is Passive.

Switching active Management Unit

>

Click on the Change icon for the passive MU to make it the active MU with respect to SVP operating.

This action may be advisable if the active MU has to be shut down for maintenance reasons and the SVP console has to be available without interruption.
