Detailed information about SOL setup instructions is available in the BladeCenter
JS20 Installation and User’s Guide on the IBM BladeCenter Documentation CD.
Also, see the documentation for the operating system for information about
commands that you can enter through an SOL connection. See the IBM

Selecting the command target
You can use the command-line interface to target commands to the management
module or to other devices installed in the BladeCenter unit. The command line
prompt indicates the persistent command environment: the environment where
commands are entered unless otherwise redirected. When a command-line
interface session is started, the persistent command environment is “system”; this
indicates that commands are being directed to the BladeCenter unit. See the IBM
Eserver
BladeCenter and BladeCenter T Management Module Command Line
Interface Reference Guide for additional information.
Starting the command-line interface
Start the management-module command-line interface from a client computer by
establishing a Telnet connection to the IP address of the management module or by
establishing an SSH connection. You can establish up to 14 separate Telnet or SSH
sessions to the BladeCenter management module.
Although a remote network administrator can access the management-module
command-line interface through Telnet, this method does not provide a secure
connection. As a secure alternative to using Telnet to access the command-line
interface, SSH ensures that all data that is sent over the network is encrypted and
secure.
The SSH clients listed below are available. Although some SSH clients have been
tested, support or non-support of any particular SSH client is not implied.
v
The SSH clients distributed with operating systems such as Linux, AIX
®
, and
UNIX
®
(see the operating-system documentation for information). The SSH client
of Red Hat Linux 8.0 Professional was used to test the command-line interface.
v
The SSH client of cygwin (see http://www.cygwin.com for information)
v Putty (see http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgatham/putty for information)
The following table shows the types of encryption algorithms that are supported,
according to the client software version that is being used.
