Initiating a service processor failover
You can use the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI) to initiate a failover from the backup service processor.
Service processor failover reduces customer outages caused due to service processor hardware failures. If a redundant service processor is supported for the current system configuration, you can initiate a failover from the backup service processor.
To
perform this operation, you must have one of the following authority
levels:
- Administrator
- Authorized service provider
Note: This task can be initiated only from the backup service
processor.
To initiate a service processor failover, complete the following steps:
- On the ASMI Welcome pane, specify your user ID and password, and click Log In.
- In the navigation area, expand .
- Click Continue to initiate the failover from the backup service processor.
