Serial Console Connection

The serial interface of the hubs includes a multiplexing functionality that can establish a link with each component
through a series of hotkeys (Figure 7).
The console port of the hubs has a redundancy feature with its partner hub. This means that the console port of
either hub installed in a SYMKLOUD chassis can be used to communicate with any hub/node in the chassis. The ports
are mirror images of each other: any output or user input is reflected in both.
Connect to the management port with a cable or via a network.
Establish an SOL connection using ipmitool: ipmitool –H
–P admin –I lanplus sol activate.
The OS specific prompt is displayed, e.g. Login.
Connect to the management port with a cable or via a network.
Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the hub to access the SM.
From the Dashboard screen, click on REMOTE ACCESS.
Click on Node n under the platform in which the node is installed.
Click on REMOTE ACCESS to start the session.
