NOTE: While multiple SOL sessions can be active at the same time, only one

console redirection session can be active at any given time for a managed system.

NOTE: To exit an active SOL session, use the <~><.> character sequence.

This sequence terminates SOL and returns you to the top-level menu.

Select option 1 in the main menu.

Enter the

iDRAC IP Address

of the remote managed system.

Provide the iDRAC6

Username

and

Password

for iDRAC6 on the managed

system. The iDRAC6 username and password must be assigned and stored

in the iDRAC6 non-volatile storage.

NOTE: Only one SOL console redirection session with iDRAC6 is permitted at

one time.

NOTE: If required, extend SOL session duration to infinite by changing the

Telnet timeout value to zero in the iDRAC6 Web GUI under System→ Remote

Access→ iDRAC→ Network/Security→ Services.

Provide the IPMI encryption key if it was configured in the iDRAC.

NOTE: You can locate the IPMI encryption key in the iDRAC6 GUI on

System→ Remote Access→ iDRAC→ Network/Security→ Network→ IPMI

LAN Settings→ Encryption Key.

NOTE: The default IPMI encryption key is all zeros. If you press <Enter> for

the encryption option, iDRAC6 will use this default encryption key.
