Using the IPMI Remote Access Serial Interface

In the IPMI serial interface, the following modes are available:

•

IPMI terminal mode

— Supports ASCII commands that are submitted

from a serial terminal. The command set has a limited number of

commands (including power control) and supports raw IPMI commands

that are entered as hexadecimal ASCII characters.

•

IPMI basic mode

— Supports a binary interface for program access, such

as the IPMI shell (IPMISH) that is included with the Baseboard

Management Utility (BMU).

To configure the IPMI mode using RACADM:

Disable the RAC serial interface.

At the command prompt, type:

racadm config -g cfgSerial -o

cfgSerialConsoleEnable 0

Enable the appropriate IPMI mode.

For example, at the command prompt, type:

racadm config -g cfgIpmiSerial -o

cfgIpmiSerialConnectionMode
