11.3 Logging Out
A remote connection requires that the X-Series system has a shielded RJ45 cable connecting the Out-of-Band net-
working port to the local network.
The
IPMItool (https://github.com/ipmitool/ipmitool)
remote management utility must be installed on the com-
puter used to manage the X-Series remotely, and that computer must have access to the same network as the X-Se
-
ries system. FreeBSD, macOS, and Linux have package systems which can be used to install IPMItool. For Windows,
a simple option is to install
IPMItool
through Cygwin.
Only use
IPMItool
for remote Out-of-Band management on the X-Series. Other IPMI utilities may not work
correctly or even damage the X-Series system.
The
ipmitool
connection password is randomized for security and attached as a sticker to the back of the X-Series
https://www.truenas.com/docs/sb327/
.
In this example,
192.168.100.100
is the IP address assigned to the Out-of-Band management interface.
ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.100.100 -U admin -a sol activate
SOL on another session is displayed when a Serial Over LAN connection is already in use. To reset the Serial Over
LAN system from the remote laptop or desktop computer, use:
ipmitool -H 192.168.100.100 -U admin bmc reset cold
and enter the unique randomized password.
Note:
the Serial Over LAN system can also be reset with the Out-of-Band serial port.
Repeat the
sol activate
command above and enter the randomized password to connect to the X-Series con-
sole.
