Command-Line Interface And Serial Over Lan - IBM HS40 - BladeCenter - 8839 Maintenance And Troubleshooting Manual

If you have installed an I/O expansion card on a blade server, communications from
the option are routed to I/O-module bays 3 and 4. You can verify which controller on
the card is routed to which I/O-module bay by performing the same test, using a
controller on the I/O expansion card and a compatible switch module or pass-thru
module in switch bay 3 or 4.

Command-line interface and serial over LAN

The IBM Eserver BladeCenter Management Module Command-Line Interface
provides direct access to BladeCenter management functions as an alternative to
using the management-module Web interface. Using the command-line interface,
you can issue commands to control the power and configuration of the blade server
and other components installed in the BladeCenter unit. The command-line
interface also provides access to the text-console command prompt for your blade
server through a serial over LAN (SOL) connection. See the IBM Eserver
BladeCenter Management Module Command-Line Interface User's Guide and the
IBM Eserver BladeCenter Serial Over LAN Setup Guide for information and
instructions.
