Enabling the Serial/Telnet Console Remotely
To enable the serial/telnet console remotely, type the following remote
racadm commands from a command prompt:

address> config -g cfgSerial cfgSerialConsoleEnable 1
racadm -u <username> -p <password> -r <DRAC 4 IP
address> config -g cfgSerial cfgSerialTelnetEnable 1
