Alexey - If you _actually_ want to use BIOS redirection you'll need to use Serial Port B in the BIOS settings. At least, that's the only port that is supposed to be supported. Once grub/Kernel/etc... loads, they can send data to the correct serial port.
In IPMITool, the 'volatile bit rate' setting is for BIOS and the non-volatile is for the OS. - Eric >-----Original Message----- >From: Alexey Vlasov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Friday, October 31, 2008 10:48 AM >To: ipmitool-devel@lists.sourceforge.net >Subject: Re: [Ipmitool-devel] Problem with console redirection in SR1500 > >Hi. > >I understood what my mistake was, in grub.conf I had to specify >--unit=1. > >So Full sequence of actions of setuping Intel SR1500. > >BIOS settings: >===== >Server Management -> Console Redirection >* Console Redirection [Serial Port A] >* Flow Control [RTS/CTS] >* Baud Rate [19.2k] >* Terminal Type [VT100] >* Legacy OS Redirection [Disabled] >===== > >IMPI SOL settings: >===== >Set in progress : set-complete >Enabled : true >Force Encryption : false >Force Authentication : false >Privilege Level : ADMINISTRATOR >Character Accumulate Level (ms) : 20 >Character Send Threshold : 50 >Retry Count : 6 >Retry Interval (ms) : 200 >Volatile Bit Rate (kbps) : IPMI-Over-Serial-Setting >Non-Volatile Bit Rate (kbps) : 19.2 >Payload Channel : 14 (0x0e) >Payload Port : 623 >===== >or commands: >===== ># ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.0.61 -o intelplus sol set >privilege-level admin ># ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.0.61 -o intelplus sol set >non-volatile-bit-rate 19.2 ># ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.0.61 -o intelplus sol set >volatile-bit-rate serial ># ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.0.61 -o intelplus sol set >force-encryption false ># ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.0.61 -o intelplus sol set enabled true ># ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.0.61 -o intelplus sol payload enable >===== > >grub.conf: >===== >serial --unit=1 ---speed=19200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop >terminal --timeout=5 serial console >[skip] >kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro rhgb >console=tty0 console=ttyS1,19200n8r >===== > >/etc/inittab: >===== >s0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 19200 ttyS0 vt100-nav >s1:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 19200 ttyS1 vt100-nav >===== > >/etc/securetty: >===== >[skip] >ttyS1 >===== > >Connecting: ># ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.0.61 -o intelplus sol activate >Password: >[SOL Session operational.
