Hi,
I have a Dell PE2950 server with DRAC 5 running OpenBSD 4.5 AMD64. I
would like to remotely access the console using an SSH session to
the DRAC IP address. I am hoping someone can help me with this.
This is what I have so far.
On the Server's Setup, under Serial Communications I have the
following:
Serial Communication: On with Console Redirection via COM2
External Serial Connector: Remote Access Device
Failsafe Baud Rate: 115200
Remote Terminal Type: VT100/Vt220
Redirection after Boot: Enabled
you need to set redirection after boot to disabled.
From my OpenBSD Desktop, I am able to do a r...@192.168.0.120 and
get the following:
Dell Remote Access Controller 5 (DRAC 5)
Firmware Version 1.40 (Build 08.08.22)
$
I can do a "connect com2" but can't get the console text appear
within the ssh session.
make sure you've configured the drac to support console redirection
too (this is separate to the bios config). use the following commands
to set it up:
racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialBaudRate 115200
racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialConsoleEnable 1
racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialSshEnable 1
racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialHistorySize 2000
once that is done and you have the boot.conf below, you can use
connect com2.
I tried "set tty com1" in /etc/boot.conf and that did not work. Is
it possible to get the console send its output to com2 and have that
accessed through DRAC's IP? Or is there some other way to access the
OpenBSD console through DRAC?
you need the following in boot.conf:
stty com1 115200
set tty com1
Thanks very much,
