Use this procedure to determine which service processor
on your system is the secondary service processor.
- Locate the HMC1 and HMC2 port pairs for service processor zero
and for service processor one. (See Part
locations and location codes for
your specific model).
- Is only one service processor with cables attached to the HMC
ports?
- No: Continue to the next step.
- Yes: The secondary service processor is the service processor
with no cables attached to the HMC ports. This ends the procedure.
- Which console do you want to use to check for the secondary service
processor?
- Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI): Continue
to the next step.
- Hardware management console (HMC): Go to step 5.
- Use the HMC to access the ASMI to determine which service processor
is the secondary service processor.
- Verify ASMI connectivity by logging onto the ASMI.
- When you are at the ASMI Welcome screen, an entry appears showing
the primary service processor location (for example, Service Processor:
Primary (Location U789D.001.DQDMLMM-P1-C11). The other location is
the secondary service processor. This ends the procedure.
- Use the HMC to determine which service processor is
the secondary service processor.
- Log on to the HMC.
- Select (the name of server you want to examine).
- From the Tasks menu, click Connections.
A window displays the primary and secondary processors in the Service
processor role column. This ends the procedure.
