the standby phase can be reached in either of the following ways:

    1 with the server off and power connected (the normal path), recognized by ok in the virtual operator panel.

    or

    2 with the server on after an operating system fault, recognized by an 8-digit code in the virtual operator panel.

    in the standby phase, the service processor takes care of some automatic duties and is available for menus operation. the service processor remains in the standby phase until a power-on request is detected.

    the standby phase components are as follows:

    3 menus

    the service processor menus are password-protected. before you can access them, you need either the general user-password or privileged-user password.

    on hmc-managed systems, service processor menus are available on the hmc graphical user interface.
