The Text-based User Interface

The Text-based User Interface (TUI) is a utility on the Service Processor (SP) that enables limited configuration and management of the SP and access to an attached StoreServ’s CLI. The intent of the TUI is not to duplicate the functionality of the SC GUI, but to allow a way to fix problems that may prevent you from using the SC GUI.

The TUI appears the first time you log in to the Linux console opened from the VMware vSphere Client or through a terminal emulator using SSH. Prior to SP initialization, you can log in to the TUI with the user name admin and no password. To access the TUI after the SP has been initialized, log in with the admin user password you created during the initialization or as the hpepartner user. The admin and hpepartner users will automatically be placed in the TUI when they login to the Linux console.

The Service Processor ID and model are always displayed in the heading. Before the SP is initialized, the SP ID is displayed as SP00000. After initialization, the actual ID assigned to the SP during initialization is displayed.
