Appendix F
Host Console Access via iDRAC
If you have a problem accessing the host externally, SSH into iDRAC and access the host console.
Using an SSH client do the steps below:
Step 1 SSH into the DRAC and login with the root user and idrac password. You will get a login similar
to admin->
Step 2 This indicates you are in the idrac SSH console.
Step 3 Execute the commands:
racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialBaudRate 9600
racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialCom2RedirEnable 1
racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialSshEnable 1
racadm config -g cfgIpmiSol -o cfgIpmiSolEnable 1
racadm config -g cfgIpmiSol -o cfgIpmiSolBaudRate 9600
The iDRAC should now be configured to access serial console.
Step 1 From the iDRAC SSH interface run the command below to access the serial console:
console com2
Step 2 To return to the DRAC interface and disconnect from the console the default escape sequence
is ^\ (CTRL+\) or simply close the SSH window.
