Enabling the Serial/Telnet Console Remotely

To enable the serial/telnet console remotely, type the following remote racadm commands from a command prompt:

racadm -u <username> -p <password> -r <DRAC 4 IP address> config -g cfgSerial cfgSerialConsoleEnable 1

racadm -u <username> -p <password> -r <DRAC 4 IP address> config -g cfgSerial cfgSerialTelnetEnable 1

NOTE: Use the DRAC 4 IP address for your managed system; not 192.168.10.1 as shown in the example.

racadm -u root -p calvin -r 192.168.10.1 config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialConsoleEnable 1

racadm -u root -p calvin -r 192.168.10.1 config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialTelnetEnable 1
