Issues in the console redirection enablement using ipmitool
IBM SSRs must enable console redirection when logged into the BMC over serial.
If a canister is powered on and the password is not working, the ipmitool password could be incorrect.
1. Bring up the console by using a mini DVI cable. Contact ESS service for more information.
2. Log in to the O/S as a root user and reset the ipmi password.
ipmitool user set password 2 <new_bmc_pw>
The BMC password is the enclosure serial number.
3. Reconnect the serial cable and try to enable console redirection again.
