Locally
Follow these steps to locally boot the server to the service partition:
1. Restart the managed server.
2. Monitor the boot process and press <F2> when prompted to enter BIOS setup.
3. Arrow to the System Management menu, and select Enabled for the Service Boot option.
4. Press <F10> to save the setting and exit out of the BIOS setup. The system automatically
reboots to the Service Partition.
Console Redirection
The BIOS supports redirection of video output and keyboard input via serial link. This section
details the serial redirection scheme. For redirection over LAN (Serial over LAN or SOL), see the
online help available in ISM.
When console redirection is enabled, local (host server) keyboard input and video output are passed
both to the local keyboard and video connections, and to the remote console via the serial link.
Keyboard inputs from both sources are considered valid and video is displayed to both outputs.
With console redirection, you can operate the server system without having a keyboard or monitor
attached to it. Setup and any other text-based utilities can be accessed via console redirection.
Note that serial redirection uses PC-ANSI and the UART settings assume 1 stop bit.
Operation
When redirecting through a modem, as opposed to a null modem cable, the modem needs to be
configured as follows:
•
Auto-answer (for example, ATS0=2, to answer after two rings).
•
Modem reaction to DTR set to return to command state (such as AT&D1). Failure to provide
the modem reaction results in the modem either dropping the link when the server reboots (as
in AT&D0) or becoming unresponsive to server baud rate changes (as in AT&D2).
•
The Setup/EMP option for handshaking must be set to CTS/RTS + CD for optimum
performance. The CD refers to carrier detect. If the EMP is sharing the COM port with serial
redirection, the handshaking must be set to CTS/RTS+ CD. In selecting this form of
handshaking, the server is prevented from sending video updates to a modem that is not
connected to a remote modem. If this is not selected, video update data being sent to the
modem inhibits many modems from answering an incoming call. An EMP option utilizing CD
should not be used if a modem is not used and the CD is not connected.
Once console redirection is selected via Setup, redirection binary is loaded into memory and
activated during POST. While redirection cannot be removed without rebooting, it can be inhibited
and restarted.
