1. on some of the system management services (or service processor) screens, you will see the term lpar. lpar is equivalent to the term logical partitioned system or partitioned system.

    2. the information in this chapter regarding the configuring of serial ports (and modems attached to those serial ports), applies only to the serial ports (s1 and s2) on the cec backplane (location u0.1-p1).

    this information is not applicable to the serial ports (or modems attached to those serial ports), on the hmc.

    the service processor runs on its own power boundary and continually monitors hardware attributes and the environmental conditions within the system. the service processor is controlled by firmware and does not require the operating system to be operational to perform its tasks.

    the service processor menus allow you to configure service processor options, as well as enable and disable functions.

    service processor menus are available using an ascii terminal or an hmc virtual terminal window when ok is displayed on the operator panel or when the service processor has detected a system problem (such as a surveillance failure).
