Sorry, I'm not a developer. I figured out most of how to get a serial console working over SOL:
On the host system, normally in inittab, but, for this example I'll do this interactively, start a getty on /dev/ttyS1: <some host># /sbin/agetty 115200 ttyS1 vt102 On the another system, setup the IPMI on the machine w/: ipmitool -E -H <host's IPMI IP> -o intelplus -U root \ -L ADMINISTRATOR sol set enabled true ipmitool -E -H <host's IPMI IP> -o intelplus -U root \ -L ADMINISTRATOR sol set non-volatile-bit-rate 115.2 ipmitool -E -H <host's IPMI IP> -o intelplus -U root \ -L ADMINISTRATOR sol set volatile-bit-rate 115.2 ipmitool -C0 -I lanplus -A NONE -E -H <host's IPMI IP> \ -o intelplus -U root -L ADMINISTRATOR \ raw 06 0x4c 01 01 02 00 00 00 Then activate the session on the other system with: ipmitool -I lanplus -A NONE -H <host' IPMI IP> -o intelplus \ -L USER sol activate [SOL Session operational. Use ~? for help] Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 2) Kernel 2.6.9-22.OpenIB.5873.trunk.EL.rootsmp on an x86_64 system name: At this point, any character I type continuously repeats. The verbose log is long, so I zipped and attached it. I entered a "period" (.) for the repeating character, and truncated the log after the third period (first period is at line 430 in the verbose output). I guess it could be an agetty error, but it looks like ipmitool keeps repeating the character. Any ideas? Thanks, Chris
