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 Finding part locations for your specific model.)
- Is there only one service processor with cables attached
to its 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.
- Use the HMC to access Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI) to determine
which service processor is the secondary service processor. First, verify
ASMI connectivity by logging onto ASMI. Then pull all HMC cables from HMC
ports for service processor zero (leaving service processor one HMC cables
attached).
Log onto ASMI again. Were you successfully able to log onto
ASMI?
- No: The service processor with HMC cables still attached is the
secondary service processor. Reattach the HMC cable(s) to service processor
zero. This ends the procedure.
- Yes: The cables just removed identify the secondary service processor.
Reattach the HMC cables to the secondary service processor. This ends
the procedure.
