You can switch the default serial port output of the server module between the SP console and the host console. By default, the SP console is connected to the external serial management port (accessible through the multi-port cable that can be plugged into the front panel of the blade). This feature allows you to view non-ASCII character traffic from the host console.
Note - Set up the network connection to the server module SP before attempting to switch the serial management port owner to the host server. If a network is not set up, and you utilize a direct serial connection using the multi-port cable to switch the serial management port owner to the host server, you will be unable to connect via the ILOM CLI interface or web interface to change the serial management port owner back to the SP. To change ownership of the serial management port back to the SP, you must perform the procedures in Restoring ILOM Access to the Serial Console.
Choose one of the following methods to switch serial port console access:
