Using BIOS Console Redirection With SOL Proxy
Console redirection allows maintenance of a system from a remote location
by redirecting keyboard input and output through the serial port. Any
console-based feature or operating system can then be used to access the
server. DR-DOS, Linux (init 3) and Windows Special Administrative
Console (SAC) are examples of operating systems and consoles that can be
used to access the server.
By default, some operating systems, such as Windows Server 2003, are
automatically configured to send text console output to the BIOS. Manual
configuration of the Redirection after Boot feature through the system BIOS
may not be visible to the operating system. This results in both, the operating
system feature and the BIOS redirection feature, being enabled. Depending
on the operating system and its setup, the results may vary. Dell recommends
the following steps as good practice:
DR-DOS: Do not configure DR-DOS for serial console output. Enable
console redirection after reboot in system BIOS.
