Configuring iDRAC to use SOL using RACADM

To configure IPMI Serial over LAN (SOL):
  1. Enable IPMI Serial over LAN using the command.
    racadm set iDRAC.IPMISol.Enable 1
  2. Update the IPMI SOL minimum privilege level using the command.
    racadm set iDRAC.IPMISol.MinPrivilege <level>
    ParameterPrivilege level
    <level> = 2 User
    <level> = 3 Operator
    <level> = 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 the command.
    racadm set iDRAC.IPMISol.BaudRate <baud_rate>
    NOTE: To redirect the serial console over LAN, make sure that the SOL baud rate is identical to the managed system’s baud rate.
