66 Using the BMC Management Utility
Configuring the SOL Proxy Configuration File
Certain parameters, for IPMI Shell and SOL Proxy, must be correctly configured in the SOL Proxy
Configuration file, - SOLProxy.cfg, which is located in the default installation BMC directory.
The parameters and their descriptions are as follows:
Comments
Any line starting with a “#” is treated as a comment. For example:
#The file is an example.
IP Address
Specifies the specific IP address used to connect to SOL Proxy. This item defines what kind of
connection can be accepted to establish a SOL Proxy telnet session. There are three possible values:
• INADDR_ANY — SOL proxy listens for input on any interface on the server.
• 127.0.0.1 — SOL proxy listens for input on the localhost only.
•
IP address — SOL proxy listens for input on this IP address only.
For example:
ip=INADDR_ANY
Port Binding
Specifies the port at which the SOL Proxy listens for incoming connections. By default, the port is set to
623 and can be modified by the user.
This item defines the port when you telnet SOL Proxy. If this item is absent, 623 is set as the default
port. For example:
port=623
Session Timeout
Specifies the time in minutes before the SOL Proxy session times out.
If there is no keyboard activity for the specified timeout period, the telnet session and the SOL session
will be closed. The timeout value is specified in minutes and can be changed during SOL Proxy
installation. For example:
session_timeout=30
Power-off Timeout
Specifies the time in seconds before the SOL Proxy gives up polling for the managed system's power
status. If the SOL Proxy issues the power off command and the system does not power off within the
specified interval, the SOL Proxy returns with a message, indicating that the SOL Proxy was unable to
power off the system due to the timeout interval.
