Dave/All,
Thanks for the response. I am still having problems. So ipmi is
working in every other aspect. I have checked that console redirection is
enabled in the BIOS. I have the following in inittab:
co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS0 57600 vt100-nav
I have tried all the speeds I can think of (9600, 19200, 115200). I got the
57600 from the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /opt/ipmitool/bin/ipmitool -I lanplus -H x.x.x.x -U root
sol info
Password:
Info: SOL parameter 'Payload Channel (7)' not supported - defaulting to 0x0e
Set in progress : set-in-progress
Enabled : true
Force Encryption : true
Force Authentication : false
Privilege Level : ADMINISTRATOR
Character Accumulate Level (ms) : 50
Character Send Threshold : 220
Retry Count : 7
Retry Interval (ms) : 1000
Volatile Bit Rate (kbps) : 57.6
Non-Volatile Bit Rate (kbps) : 57.6
Payload Channel : 14 (0x0e)
Payload Port : 623
I get no output when I open the ipmi session. agetty is running, it shows up
okay. I have tried ttyS0 & ttyS1.
Thanks.

Did you enable login services on say ttyS1 (most likely the serial port
that Dell binds to for IPMI services)? Edit /etc/inittab and add a line
such as:
co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS1 9600 vt100-nav
Once that's entered in, run the command "/sbin/telinit q" as the root user
to activate the change. At that point, you should see the login screen.
Ps. Don't forget to enable Serial console access in the BIOS as well.

Hello All,
So I have a few Dell Poweredge 1950's and 2950's. They support ipmi 2.0, and I have
used ipmitool via lan to check data on the systems and to power cycle the systems.
However when using "ipmitool -I lanplus -H x.x.x.x -U root sol activate" I get
a connection, but I never get a prompt or any output. I am currently using RHEL 4.4. Is
anyone familiar with this particular configuration ?
Regards.
