Here,
“192.168.1.10” is BMC IP address
“root”/“password” is BMC’s user name and password.
This results is same what you do it as in-band:
# ipmitool sdr list
5.5.4 Activate SOL from IPMITOOL command
If you want to activate SOL, you have three more steps:
Enable console redirection (from BIOS menu or by SYSCFG command line), example:
Figure 58. Enable Console Redirection
Enable “admin” privilege and payload type to “SOL” for the BMC user 1 on BMC channel 1:
# syscfg /up 1 1 admin sol
Enable Serial Over LAN (SOL) on BMC channel 1 by typing: (same as BIOS setting)
# syscfg /sole 1 enable admin 115200 5 60
Now, you can successfully activate SOL session as like what DPCCLI did(explained in prevision
section):
# ipmitool I lanplus H 192.168.1.10 U root P password SOL activate
On how to configure Linux* to make ipmitool SOL session display correctly, please refer previous
DPCCLI section for more details.
