HP 9000 rp5400 Servers - Manual (Page 48)

GSP LAN
This LAN is exclusively for LAN console access and is not configurable via HP-UX. The LAN is
configured via GSP commands. Hostname, IP, gateway and subnet mask parameters may be set
via the GSP>lc command. The GSP may also initiate ping via the GSP>xd command.
GSP RS-232
The DB25 connector on the GSP is used for RS-232 communications to a local console (via
CONSOLE connector), a remote console via modem (REMOTE connector), and a UPS (UPS
connector). The baud rate, term type, etc., of the CONSOLE and REMOTE ports are configured
via GSP>ca command.
The GSP supports VT100 and HPTERM terminal emulation. For correct communications, the
GSP and RS-232 device must use the same terminal emulation and baud rates.
GSP Features
The revision A GSP provides a 10 base-T LAN connector for LAN console access and a DB-25
connector to which the A5191-63001 W-cable connects. The W-cable provides REMOTE, UPS,
and CONSOLE DB-9 connectors.
Features of the revision A GSP are:
•
10 Base-T LAN connector for revision A GSP
• 10/100 Base-T LAN connector for revision B GSP
• On-board processor dedicated to GSP functions
• Error logging and notification
• Display of system alerts and selftest chassis codes
• Powered by 15 VDC housekeeping power that is present when the front panel switch is off
• Power and configuration monitoring
• RS-232, LAN, REMOTE and WEB console access
• Administrator and user security
• Alphanumeric paging.
There are two revisions of rp54xx GSP: revision A (A6696A) and revision B (A6696B). Due to
significant hardware differences between the revision A and B GSP, each GSP requires it's own
firmware. Revision A GSP firmware can only be installed in a revision A GSP and revision B
GSP firmware can only be installed in a revision B GSP. The hardware differences are necessary
to incorporate the embedded web access, 10/100 Base-t LAN, and faster GSP processor.
The GSP provides four types of console access: RS-232, Remote, LAN and Web. Console
information is mirrored to all four console types. Refer to
Configure System Consoles for more
information.
The GSP was originally a core component of the revision A rp5400 (A5576A) and rp5450 (A5191A)
servers. Beginning with introduction of the revision B rp5400 (A5576B), rp5450 (A5191B), and
rp5470 servers the GSP became a separate, must order product (A6696A).
Revision A GSP
The revision A GSP is identified by product number A6696A and part numbers: A5191-60012,
A5191-69012, and A5191-69112.
The revision A GSP requires a "W" cable to be attached to the DB25 connector. The part number
of the "W" is A5191-63001. The "W" cable provides female DB9 connectors for CONSOLE, REMOTE
and UPS. The maximum supported baud rate for the CONSOLE and REMOTE connectors is
19200 baud and 1200 baud for the UPS.
The paths for the CONSOLE, UPS, and REMOTE are 0/0/4/0.0, 0/0/4/0.1, and 0/0/4/0.2 respectively.
