iDRAC 8/7 v2.30.30.30 User’s Guide

1. Enable IPMI Serial over LAN:
   • Using config command: racadm config -g cfgIpmiSol -o cfgIpmiSolEnable 1
   • Using set command: racadm set iDRAC.IPMISol.Enable 1
2. Update the IPMI SOL minimum privilege level:
   • Using config command: racadm config -g cfgIpmiSol o cfgIpmiSolMinPrivilege <level>
   • Using set command: racadm set iDRAC.IPMISol.MinPrivilege 1
   where <level> is 2 (User), 3 (Operator), 4 (Administrator).
   • NOTE: The IPMI SOL minimum privilege level determines the minimum privilege to activate IPMI SOL. For more information, see the IPMI 2.0 specification.
3. Update the IPMI SOL baud rate:
   • Using config command: racadm config -g cfgIpmiSol -o cfgIpmiSolBaudRate <baud_rate>
   • Using set command: racadm set iDRAC.IPMISol.BaudRate <baud_rate>
   where <baud_rate> is 9600, 19200, 57600, or 115200 bps.
   • NOTE: To redirect the serial console over LAN, make sure that the SOL baud rate is identical to the managed system’s baud rate.
4. Enable SOL for each user:
   • Using config command: racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminSolEnable -i <id> 2
   • Using set command: racadm set iDRAC.Users.<id>.SolEnable 2
   where, <id> is the user’s unique ID.
   • NOTE: To redirect the serial console over LAN, make sure that the SOL baud rate is identical to the managed system’s baud rate.
