New to AIX and IBM Hardware. Need some info

Hello all. I'm new to AIX and IBM hardware and I have a question around the configuration of the service processor on the power series. I need to know:

1) How do I get into the service processor from the serial console when AIX is up and running. I come from the Sun world and I tried all I know. How do I break out of the AIX login prompt and get back into the SP. The server is currently in use else I would just reboot, so I need to know how to get into it without disturbing users.

2) Can you configure the SP from within AIX? I need to enable the HMC ports and some systems I have I don't know their Ip and unfortunately they are static. So the default IP is not set. Or if there is a way to "reset" the SP without bringing down the system I'd like to know that.

I just find the IBM docs so overwhelming and hard to find any info. And google in regards to IBM and AIX always comes first on searches. So I'm just finding IBM info and not from reg users.

Any help you can give this AIX newbee would be great.

Thanks!

IBM Hardware question

I am looking to buy a 7044 - either a 170 or 270. From what I can find on web searchs the 170 is NOT upgradable to more that one CPU? Is that correct? Can I upgrade the planer on a 170 to a 270 to support multiple CPU's? Does anyone have any other suggestion for AIX hardware?

NAME

       pset_assign_cpu - Assigns a processor to a processor set

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/pset_assign_cpu pset_id processor [processor...]

       /usr/sbin/pset_assign_cpu -a  pset_id number

OPTIONS

       Adds the specified number of processors (number) to the specified processor set (pset_id) from the default processor set.

DESCRIPTION

       The  pset_assign_cpu  command  assigns  one or more processors to an existing processor set.  The pset_id variable is a unique integer that
       identifies the processor set and is returned by the pset_create command.  The processor variable is a unique integer  that  identifies  the
       processor.   Each  processor  that  is assigned to an existing processor set is removed from its current processor set.	The boot processor
       cannot be assigned.

       Processor assignments are logged in the /var/adm/wtmp file.
