58 Configuring CMC to Use Command Line Consoles
Running Telnet Using Windows XP or Windows 2003
If your management station is running Windows XP or Windows 2003, you
may experience an issue with the characters in a CMC Telnet session. This
issue may occur as a frozen login where the return key does not respond and
the password prompt does not appear.
To fix this issue, download hotfix 824810 from the Microsoft Support website
at support.microsoft.com. See Microsoft Knowledge Base article 824810 for
more information.
Configuring Linux for Serial Console Redirection During Boot
The following steps are specific to the Linux GRand Unified Bootloader
(GRUB). Similar changes would be necessary for using a different boot loader.
NOTE: When you configure the client VT100 emulation window, set the window or
application that is displaying the redirected console to 25 rows x 80 columns to
ensure proper text display; otherwise, some text screens may be garbled.
Edit the /etc/grub.conf file as follows:
1
Locate the general setting sections in the file and add the following two
new lines:
serial --unit=1 --speed=57600
terminal --timeout=10 serial
2
Append two options to the kernel line:
kernel............. console=ttyS1,57600
3
If the /etc/grub.conf contains a splashimage directive, comment it out.
The following example shows the changes described in this procedure.
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making
changes
# to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This
means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to
/, e.g.
# root (hd0,0)
