That's my first S5000PAL (test) system. I have lan channel 1 configured with macaddr, static ipaddr, netmask and defgw (both on the same network that operating system's nic). lan ippaddr is just next to the os's ip. I've setup user 2 administrative privilige with md5 auth for that channel and disabled user 1 at all. That simple setup seems to works perfectly for remote ipmi commands. Then I've configred Serial Over LAN: - set privilege-level admin - set non-volatile-bit-rate 115.2 - set volatile-bit-rate 115.2 - set force-encryption true - set retry-interval 2 - set enabled true - payload enable 1 2 And that also seems to work well most of the time, besides one problem that if more data goes through SOL, the output get somehow broken, ie: # pstree |tail -n5 # <-- layout is ok # pstre # <--- lyout is broken and hardly readable So it seems SOL has problems with fast data streem or big data chunks. Anyway, BMC hangs happend already 3 times to me. Every time it was while I've been booting system and watching the bootloader/kernel output via SOL. I have no idea what are the last SEL inputs because.. BMC hangs :> and there's no way to check it out (with any method). I suppose the last sel inputs could be stm like: Power Unit #0x01 | Power off/down | Asserted Power Unit #0x01 | Power off/down | Deasserted System Event #0x01 | OEM System boot event | Asserted System ACPI Power State #0x82 | S0/G0: working | Asserted PS1. Is there any method to fix that the SOL output mangling described above? PS2. Is there any method to reset BMC not unplugging the system from AC power for 1> minute? Any "secret"/magic local panel button press combination..? -- Tomek ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
