Rahul, Syscfg --conred is applicable up to 8th generation of Power Edge servers. On R300 and R410 servers, use syscfg --serialcomm along with --extserial option.
sysfcg --serialcomm selects whether the COM ports (COM1 and COM2) are enabled by the BIOS and if BIOS Console Redirection is also enabled. Consol Redirection via COM1 is used only in conjunction with External Serial Connector set to COM1. Whereas Console Redirection via COM2 can be used with External Serial Connector set to COM1, COM2 or Remote Access Device. Use this mode for Consol Redirection over SOL. Hope this answers your question. -Vibha ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sat, 10 Jul 2010 21:09:07 -0500 From: Rahul Nabar <[email protected]> Subject: syscfg bug? Does not allow me to set console redirection options from command line To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 In order to set the correct BIOS settings for Serial-over-LAN I was using the Dell syscfg too (From the deployment Toolkit). I was hoping to then automate this process on all 300 R410 servers than we have. I tried: /opt/dell/toolkit/bin/syscfg --conred The option 'conred' is not available or cannot be configured through software. I am sure my system has this option since if I physically log in to the bios using a console I can set the redirection. Also the manual (*) for syscfg lists this option so clearly it has to be software addressable. Is this a bug in syscfg? Can someone at Dell verify please? I tried the excellent Dell helpdesk but the guys there had never heard of syscfg nor Serial-over-LAN so it is a losing battle. I am using this version of syscfg: syscfg Version 3.1.0000 ser01 (Linux - Sep 1 2009, 00:30:05) Copyright (c) 2002-2009 Dell Inc. -- Rahul * http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBIQFjAA&url=http%3A %2F%2Fsupport.dell.com%2Fsupport%2Fedocs%2Fsoftware%2Fdtk%2F2.4%2FCLI%2F pdf%2Fdtk24cli.pdf&ei=rCQ5TMnXHIX_ngfB05ikDA&usg=AFQjCNHvcMIJUOW55HSMQFJ wRsluLuNhFw _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq End of Linux-PowerEdge Digest, Vol 73, Issue 18 *********************************************** _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
