What is the version of xCAT you are using?

Will you pls try the following command to check whether the console has any
output?

ipmitool-xcat -I lanplus -U <userid> -P <password> -H <RMM IP> sol activate

Trying to help a customer set up a system using Intel RMM4 system
management. They've gone through the Intel Deployment Assistant which
configured the RMM IP and supposedly set up SOL. So far rpower, rbeacon,
reventlog & rvitals all work; rinv hangs and rcons returns:

Acquiring startup lock...done
Error: Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session
Error: No response de-activating SOL payload

I cannot telnet into the RMM, only SSH. Anyone have any experience with
this, or are they spinning their wheels trying to get SOL to work? The RMM
documentation says it supports IPMI 2.0 and includes the following:

The BMC supports IPMI 2.0 SOL.
IPMI 2.0 introduced a standard serial-over-LAN feature. This is implemented
as a standard payload type (01h)over RMCP+.
Three commands are implemented for SOL 2.0 configuration.

“Get SOL 2.0 Configuration Parameters” and “Set SOL 2.0 Configuration
Parameters”: These commands are used to get and set the values of the SOL
configuration parameters. The parameters are implemented on a per-channel
basis.

“Activating SOL”: This command is not accepted by the BMC. It is sent by
the BMC when SOL is activated to notify a remote client of the switch to
SOL.

Activating a SOL session requires an existing IPMI-over-LAN session. If
encryption is used, it should be negotiated when the IPMI-over LAN session
is established.
