2.
Verify that the Serial over LAN port assignment was not changed to the
internal Ethernet port 2 in the blade server. The default SoL port assignment is
internal Ethernet port 1 in the blade server, which connects to the switch
module in I/O module bay 1. Most blade servers, except the BladeCenter
HS40, provide a setting in the network controller firmware to change the SoL
port assignment. This setting can be changed only when updating the blade
server firmware.
3.
Verify that Serial over LAN is set up properly in the firmware (BIOS) for the
blade server.
Note:
The blade may boot extremely slow and/or become unresponsive if
COM 1 is configured for Serial over LAN instead of COM 2.
For more information see the
IBM BladeCenter Serial over LAN Setup Guide
.
4.
Verify that the Serial over LAN IP address range (BSMP) is not already being
used on the external network. The default BSMP address range starts at
10.1.1.80 and ends at 10.1.1.85 for all six blade servers in the BladeCenter S
chassis. If any blade servers or other external devices use this range of
addresses for production traffic, an IP conflict will occur and Serial over LAN
traffic may be blocked.
You can change the Serial over LAN BSMP starting address using the
advanced management module Web interface. Any IP address range can be
used as long as the same addresses are not used for production traffic.
5.
If the blade server boots to an operating system, verify that the Ethernet
drivers are loaded and up to date. A downlevel Ethernet driver under Linux
can cause Serial over LAN to go into the Not Ready state.
6.
Verify that the blade servers are powered up. Some blade servers need to be
powered up for Serial over LAN. It can take up to two minutes after some
blade servers are powered up for SoL to be ready.
7.
Verify that the advanced management module can communicate with the
switch module in I/O module bay 1. From the advanced management module
Web interface, click
I/O Tasks
>
Configuration
>
Advanced
>
Ping Switch
Module
.
8.
Verify that the switch module in I/O-module bay 1 is configured properly for
Serial over LAN.
For most switch modules, you can use the default configuration settings for
the advanced management module and the switch.
9.
Restart the blade server. From the advanced management module Web
interface, click
Blade Tasks
>
Power/Restart
. Click the box next to the blade
server, and then scroll down and select
Restart Blade System Mgmt
Processor
.
a.
Make sure the blade server is powered up.
b.
Check the status of Serial over LAN.
c.
If it is ready, attempt to open an Serial over LAN console.
10.
From the advanced management module Web interface, click
Blade Tasks
>
SOL Management
. Disable SoL for the blade server and then enable it again.
a.
Make sure the blade is powered up.
b.
Check the status of Serial over LAN.
c.
If it is ready, attempt to open a Serial over LAN console.
11.
Restart the advanced management module and check the status of Serial over
LAN. If it is ready, attempt to open a Serial over LAN console.
