Booting and Verifying the System
After installing the system, verify that the proper hardware is installed and booted.
This section describes how to power on the cabinet and boot and test each partition. A console window must
be open for each partition. Two additional windows must also be open: one window for initiating reset on
partitions and the other for monitoring system partition status. Initiate the management processor (MP) in
each window.
NOTE The HKP should be ON and the 48 V switch on the front panel should be OFF at this time.
Refer to section “Turning On Housekeeping Power” on page 117 for turning on the HKP.
Connecting to the Management Processor
Before powering on the cabinet, you need to open several windows connected to the MP. Then switch the 48 V
on and boot each partition to the EFI prompt.
Step 1. On the SMS, open the required number of command-prompt windows:
• One console window for each partition (MP CO option)
• One for initializing RS command from the MP
• One for monitoring partition status (MP VFP option)
In each window, connect to the MP by entering:
telnet <MP hostname>
or
telnet <IP address>
Step 2. Enter the appropriate login and password at the MP prompts (Figure 3-41).
