Serial Over LAN
6.1
Overview
Serial Over LAN (SOL) is a mechanism that you can use to redirect the serial console from the
blade via an IPMI session over the network. SOL uses the RMCP+ protocol.
The IPMC is used to establish and control the SOL session. SOL is only available on the base
interface. The sideband interface of the Intel 82576 (in pass-through mode) is used to
transmit/receive its terminal characters via the base interface.
You can configure the SOL parameters using the standard IPMI commands or via an open
source tool called "ipmitool".
6.2
Installing the ipmitool
You can download the open source tool ipmitool from
http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net
(at the
time of publishing this manual the current version is 1.8.10). Documentation for this tool is
also freely available on this site.
