68 Configuring CMC to Use Command Line Consoles

There are up to six IOMs on the managed system. To connect to an IOM,

type:

connect switch-

where n is an IOM label a1, a2, b1, b2, c1, and c2.

IOMs are labeled A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2. (See Table 10-1 for an

illustration of the placement of IOMs in the chassis.) When you reference the

IOMs in the connect command, the IOMs are mapped to switches as shown

in Table 3-4.

NOTE: There can only be one IOM connection per chassis at a time.

NOTE: You cannot connect to passthroughs from the serial console.

To connect to a managed server for debugging, use the command connect

server-n, where -n is the slot number of the server you wish to debug. When

you connect to a server, binary communication is assumed and the escape

character is disabled. If the iDRAC is not available, you will see a No route

to host error message. Ensure that your server is inserted properly and the

iDRAC has had time to complete the boot routine.

For details on how to connect through a serial connection, see "Configuring

CMC to Use Command Line Consoles" on page 57.
