Using SOL proxy in command mode
By default, SOL Proxy is installed for use in the menu mode by the system. See "Configuring the SOL
Proxy Configuration File" section for instructions on how to change the default settings to command mode.
Commands in SOL Proxy
SOL Proxy command mode is similar to the IPMI Shell interactive mode. In addition to supporting all
commands of the IPMI Shell interactive mode, the SOL Proxy supports the following additional
commands.
console
Synopsis
console
Description
This command allows users to establish an SOL session with the connected server.
NOTE: BMU responds with an error message if console is used before establishing an IPMI session with connect.
reboot
Synopsis
reboot[-force]
Description
This command allows you to control power configurations and establish an SOL session in one atomic
operation. It is equivalent to executing the menu command of "Reboot and Activate Console Redirection".
Options

This option is used to force the system to shut down. If this option is omitted, the "reboot" command is
executed using a graceful shutdown.
