To redirect the input and output of the serial port of the blade server over IP, use SOL. Typically, the serial ports on a blade server are not connected to a serial port socket. By redirecting the I/O of the serial port to the network, you can allow users to access applications on the blade server through the serial port. For example, users accessing the blade server through the serial port can Telnet to a network address and log in. On the blade server, the login is routed through the serial port.
If you are using a Sun Netra CT900 server, all network configurations including IP, MAC, gateway, subnet, and so on are automatically configured. To use SOL, set up a user account.
If you are using a third-party chassis, enable and configure serial over LAN as described in the following topics.
The following configurations and examples of setting IP, Netmask, and Gateway addresses use the generic IPMI command ipmitool. The command clia sendcmd is a Sun Netra CT900 ShMM wrapper interface to send generic IPMI commands.
Note - When the blade is powered off to M1 state, the blade’s serial port might output extraneous characters on the console. There is no functional impact to the blade, and the characters can be ignored. The output occurs because of some models of serial concentrator.
To configure and use serial over LAN, perform the following tasks:
