If an SOL session closes itself, or if the session indicates that it is active and is not
responding, complete the following steps:
1. Disable SOL for the affected blade server (see “Enabling SOL for blade servers”
on page 12).
2.
Wait 60 seconds.
3. Re-enable SOL for the blade server (see “Enabling SOL for blade servers” on
page 12).
Problems with SOL sessions can also be due to incorrect BladeCenter configuration,
or installation of components or firmware that are not SOL compatible.
Restarting a blade server through SOL
You can restart a blade server during an SOL session by typing a specific key
sequence. This makes it possible to restart the blade server without ending the SOL
session so that you can use the
restart
command in the management-module
command-line interface.
Type the following key sequence (Esc R Esc r Esc R) to restart a blade server
during an SOL session:
1. Press Esc.
2. Type a capital R by pressing Shift and r at the same time.
3. Press Esc.
4. Press r.
5.
Press Esc.
6. Type a capital R by pressing Shift and r at the same time.
The blade server that is hosting this SOL session restarts, returning to the SOL
session that is already in progress.
Note: The keys pressed to restart a blade server can be set to another user-defined
keystroke sequence. See the BladeCenter Management Module User’s Guide for
information.
