Configuring iDRAC to use SOL using RACADM

To configure IPMI Serial over LAN (SOL):
  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.
