This section provides information that will help enhance your
experience with your systems management software, in particular
implementations and environments.
=====================================================================
NOTES FOR THE BMC MANAGEMENT UTILITY
=====================================================================
* Web browsers allow connecting to alternate ports, including the
Serial Over LAN (SOL) Proxy on IP port 623. If you connect using a
Web browser, the data received from SOL Proxy will be jumbled and
unusable, as the IP port implements the telnet protocol rather than
the HTTP or FTP. For correct results, close the Web session and
connect to SOLProxy through a telnet program.
* Only one telnet session at a time can be connected to the SOL Proxy
service.
* Make sure you have assigned a valid BMC username and password
before you connect to your system's BMC using the BMC Management
Utility.
Even though your system's BMC firmware does not allow null
usernames or null passwords to be set, the BMC Management Utility
does not limit this functionality. If you do not explicitly provide
a valid BMC username and password when using the BMC Management
Utility to log into your system's BMC, the BMC firmware will use a
null username and null password as defaults, resulting in a "Login
Not Authorized" error. The default username and password values for
the BMC are username = root and password = calvin.
* You must connect to the SOL Proxy Server (the system on which the
BMC Management Utility is installed), before you can use the SOL
Proxy to connect to a managed system's BMC.
* During normal use of the SOL Proxy utility, the SOL session can
unexpectedly disconnect when it receives an out-of-sequence packet.
The following error is displayed:
Out of sequence SOL data received.
SOL session closed due to data loss.
Deactivating ............
Deactivated successfully
The system is most likely to receive out-of-sequence packets
immediately after the system is rebooted.
* For optimal SOL Proxy performance, use the default "Character
Accumulate Interval" and "Character Send Threshold" values. The
default settings for these two parameters are 30 ms and 220
characters, respectively.
