Configuring the Guardian Service Processor(GSP)

The guardian service processor(GSP) is a resident processor within the system that allows the local or remote system administrator to monitor and perform administrator functions. This section provides configuration procedures that will instruct you to:

configure the LAN port
add or delete users(maximum of 20)
change the default GSP configuration

Configuring the GSP LAN port:
Perform the LAN configuration from the systems local port(either console or the HP secure web console)
(The GSP has a separate LAN port from the system LAN port. It will need a separate LAN drop, IP address, and networking information from the port used by HPUX. before starting this procedure, you will need to know the following information:
IP address(for GSP)
subnet mask
gateway address
hostname)

To configure the GSP LAN port, perform the following steps:
1,go into the GSP with the ctrl+b entry
2,at the GSP prompt,enter the LAN configuration(lc) command:
GSP> lc

Adding Users:
The GSP can only have a maximum of 20 users(one administrator and 19 operators).by design, the first user added to the GSP becomes the GSP administrator. only the GSP administrator can add or remove users or change the GSP configuration.before starting this procedure, you will need to know the following information:
user's name, organization's name, login name, user's password
To add a user, perform the following steps:
1,go into the GSP with the ctrl+b entry
2,at the GSP prompt, enter the security options and access control(SO) command:
GSP> so
3,the first prompt you will see with the so command is for GSP wide parameters:
GSP wide parameters are:
. Login Timeout: 1 minutes.
. Number of password Faults allowed: 3
. Flow Control Timeout: 5 minutes.
Do you want to modify the GSP wide parameters? (Y / [N]) __
At this point you can modify the GSP wide parameters, or continue with adding users.
To add users, respond N for no.
4. The next prompt that appears will ask the following question:
Do you want to modify the user number 1 parameters? (Y/[N]/Q to quit) __
Follow the series of prompts to enter all the required fields for adding a user.
For the number 1 user, the Access level is administrator. The Mode entry of single only allows entry for that user one time, then access will be denied. A Mode entry of multiple allows unlimited entries into the GSP.

Removing Users You can remove (disable) a GSP user with the same Security options
and access control (SO) command used to add a user.
To remove a user, perform the following steps:
1. Go into the GSP with the ctrl+b entry.
2. At the GSP prompt, enter the Security options and access control (SO) command:
GSP> so
3. The first prompt you will see with the so command is for GSP wide parameters:
GSP wide parameters are:
. Login Timeout: 1 minutes.
. Number of password Faults allowed: 3
. Flow Control Timeout: 5 minutes.
Do you want to modify the GSP wide parameters? (Y / [N]) __
At this point you can modify the GSP wide parameters, or continue with removing a
user. To remove users, respond N for no.
4. When you access the number of the user to be removed, you must change the data in the prompts for that number.
It is important that, at a minimum, you need to modify the User's state to Disabled.

Changing the Default GSP Configuration

This section describes the process of changing GSP default configurations. To change the GSP default configuration, perform the following steps:
1. Go into the GSP with the ctrl+b entry.
2. At the GSP prompt, enter the Default Configuration (dc) command:
GSP> dc
3. Follow the prompts for the dc command, and be sure to have the change information
available.
