Launch a Serial Console Redirection Session
Use the Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI) to start or stop a serial console redirection
session. You can launch multiple redirection sessions to the host from the Oracle ILOM
command-line interface. However, only the first of all current serial console redirection sessions
is granted read and write privileges. All other logged-in sessions are read-only. Read and write
privileges are reassigned when a user with read and write privileges closes his or her session,
and a new serial session is opened.
Before you start a serial console redirection session, ensure that you have Console (c) role
privileges in Oracle ILOM.
