John,
While the blades do communicate with the management module in a blade
chassis using IPMI, they don't support doing SOL the way other platforms
do. Instead, to access the serial console you need to telnet to the
management module (MM or AMM), log in and then issue this command:
console -T system:blade[X]
Where X is the slot number of the blade. See
https://www-304.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?brandind=5000008&lndocid=MIGR-59728
for more information and troubleshooting suggestions.
Hope this helps,
