[OpenIndiana-discuss] hipster serial console via IPMI

[Carsten John]

Hello everybody,

I'm struggeling to get serial over lan via IPMI on Supermicro mainboards running with hipster.

As long as OI used grub I had a working setup.

After moving to BootForth this does not work any more.

The recipe at http://docs.openindiana.org/handbook/common-tasks/ does not work for me.

Does anybody have a working setup for the Supermicro boards?

thanks


Carsten

I have a system with a Supermicro motherboard and another with a Tyan
motherboard. Both have a VGA device that converts text to serial,
with a separate ethernet port dedicated to this device. I use ipmitool
running on a third system to connect to these ethernet ports. Is that
similar to what you have?

It shouldn't matter what operating system is running on the Supermicro
system, at least for BIOS output. Do you get that output? Once the OS
boots, it configures ttya and ttyb for I/O on the hardware serial ports.
Putting the console on ttyc might solve your problems.

I have serial console set up on an old-ish supermicro system. The IPMI
widget on the supermicro system "owns" ttyb, initially doing
screen-scraping from the VGA port but the screen-scraping cuts out when
the software being booted opens the device itself.

I have the loader switch over to using serial at 115200 bits per second
with the following in /boot/loader.conf.local:

console="ttyb"
os_console="ttyb"
ttyb-mode="115200,8,n,1,-"

Hi Carsten,

seems that I missed the ttyb-mode=115200,8,n,1,- setting, will give it a try as soon as I can reboot the system...


thx


Carsten
