Determining which Processor is the Secondary Service Processor

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 Locating FRUs for your specific model.)
Is 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.
