Figure 6: Diagram of interface paths with a management networking connection
SOL cannot be active at the same time as a serial port backplane connection on the MSH89xx hub. When a connection
is attempted via the serial port while an SOL session is open, SOL will be disconnected. When an SOL connection is
attempted while a serial port connection is active, the serial port connection will be disconnected.
Example of an SOL connection to the node CPU serial console (OS):
1.
Connect to the management port with a cable or via a network.
2.
Establish an SOL connection using ipmitool:
From a PC: ipmitool –H
<node BMC ip address>
-U admin –P admin –I lanplus sol
activate (CPU1)
From a PC: ipmitool –H
<node BMC ip address>
-U admin –P admin –I lanplus sol
activate 2 (CPU2)
3.
The OS specific prompt is displayed, e.g.,
Login
.
The Kontron ipmitool package can be downloaded from the Kontron MS2900 web page
under Tool:

solutions/symkloud-ms2900-web.html
Ensure the protocol is enabled for the interface you want to access.
