Using LO 100 37

After completing the console redirection process, you can view the boot process remotely from a client PC

through an established telnet session to the IP address of LO 100. See your operating system

documentation for instructions on establishing telnet sessions.

To redirect the console to the telnet session and view the boot process, press the Esc+Q keys in the telnet

session during server boot. If you reset the server using the telnet connection, and press the Esc+Q keys,

the boot process might not appear immediately. The boot process appears after the server resets. You can

end the session by pressing the Esc+( keys.

NOTE: If you encounter problems logging in to the remote console, be aware that some telnet

programs might require you to enable their send line feed at end of line option. If

the remote console does not respond to the Enter key, try setting this option in your telnet

program.

NOTE: You must follow the instructions in the "Network settings (on page 41)" section to

configure the network access properly.

Redirecting a Linux console

In the remote console and servers with the Linux operating system, you can enable a remote login on

ttyS0 by making the following changes to the BIOS Setup Utility and boot documents.

NOTE: The actual steps will vary depending on your version of Linux.

1. Press the down arrow (↓) key to scroll down to the Remote Access Configuration option, and press

the Enter key. Verify the following settings:

— Remote Access—Enabled

— EMS Support (SPCR)—Enabled

2. In the /boot/grub/menu.lst file, append the following to the kernel startup line:

console=ttyS0 115200

Comment out the line GRAPHICAL DISPLAY LINE

# splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

3. Add an entry to allow serial console login in /etc/inittab. For example:

S0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L 115200 ttyS0 vt102

4. In /etc/securetty enable root access to ttyS0 by adding ttyS0.

5. In /etc/sysconfig/kudzu, set kudzu to not perform serial port probing during boot. For example:

SAFE=yes

6. After modifying and saving the previous files, reboot the server. You can now log in to the operating

system through remote console.

After POST, in the remote console, the server prompts you with a login. Enter a valid login and use the

server as you normally would. Use the ESC+Q keys to start remote console through the telnet and the

ESC+( keys to exit the remote console in telnet.
