Configuring Linux 6 to use the iLO Virtual Serial Port

Procedure

1.

Configure GRUB based on the following configuration examples.

NOTE:

In the following configuration examples, ttyS0 and unit 0 are for com1 and ttyS1 and unit 1 are for
com2.

The following configuration example uses Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and com1:

serial -unit=0 -speed=115200
terminal -timeout=10 serial console
default=0
timeout=10
#splashimage=(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2. 6.18-164.e15)
root (hd0,2)
9
kernel /vmlinux-2.6.18-164.e15 ro root=/dev/sda9 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-164.e15.img

If com2 was selected, the configuration example would be as follows:

serial -unit=1 -speed=115200
terminal -timeout=10 serial console
default=0
timeout=10
#splashimage=(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2. 6.18-164.e15)
root (hd0,2)
9
kernel /vmlinux-2.6.18-164.e15 ro root=/dev/sda9 console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-164.e15.img

After Linux is fully booted, a login console can be redirected to the serial port.

If configured, the 

/dev/ttyS0

 and 

/dev/ttyS1

 devices enable you to obtain serial TTY sessions

through the iLO Virtual Serial Port.

2.

To begin a shell session on a configured serial port, add the following line to the 

/etc/inittab

 file to

start the login process automatically during system boot:

The following example initiates the login console on 

/dev/ttyS0

:

S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 115200 ttyS0 vt100

The following example initiates the login console on 

dev/ttys1:

S1:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 115200 ttyS1 vt100

3.

Use SSH to connect to iLO, and then use the iLO CLP command 

start /system1/oemHPE_vsp1

to view a login session to the Linux operating system.

Configuring Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 to use the iLO Virtual Serial Port

Procedure

1.

Open 

/etc/sysconfig/grub

 with a text editor.
