11.8 Setting up a Serial Over LAN Session

11.8.1 Target Blade Setup

The target blade is the SOL blade that sends the serial data to the client.

Ensure that the MPCBL0010 SBC has the following firmware/OS versions loaded:

• IPMC Firmware 4.56_R006 or later

• BIOS 045.P04 or later

• sbcutilities 1.2.0.10 or later

• MontaVista 4.0 LSP, RHEL 4.0 U3

11.8.1.1 BIOS Configuration

Configure the target blade BIOS baud rate so that it is set to 9600.

Note: The SOL target blade can operate at baud rates of 9600, 19200, and 38400 only. All

examples in this document use a baud rate of 9600.

Configure the BIOS configuration of SOL target blade as follows:

1. When the blade starts booting, press F4 from HyperTerminal (or an equivalent

terminal program) to enter the BIOS setup menu.

2. Choose the Advanced menu.

3. Choose Configure Remote Access menu.

Change the Flow Control parameter to "Hardware".

4. Change Serial Port Mode to the 9600 baud rate if it is not already set to that

speed.

5. Press Esc.

6. Choose Save and Exit.

-n Specifies the MAC address of the subnet’s gateway.

-g “Gratuitous ARPs” - Turns on gratuitous ARPs. If this switch is not supplied, then IPMC-generated

ARP responses are enabled instead.

-v “Version” - displays the version and quits

-I “Interface” - specifies the interface used to commuicate to the IPMC. Must be one of kcs, lan, or

ipmb.

-m “MAC” - specifies what MAC address should be used to configure the blade. The MAC address is

given in the form of ##:##:##:##:##:##

-H RMCP-IP - IP address or host name fo the shelf manager used to bridge RMCP messages to IPMB

-U “User” - specifies the username for establishing the RMCP sessions. If not specifed, the default

value root is used.

-P “Password” - password for establishing RMCP sessions. If not specified, the default value

cmmrootpass is used.

-A “Authorization” - authorization type for establishing the RMCP sessions. One of

{none|straight|md2|md5}

-? Print the message and quit
