The default management-module SOL settings provide the best overall SOL performance. You can modify
these settings to meet requirements that are specific to your SBCE unit or network configuration. The default
SOL values are:
•
Serial Over Lan: Enabled
Use this field to enable or disable SOL globally for the SBCE unit. Enabling or disabling SOL globally
does not affect the SOL session status for each blade server.
•
SOL VLAN ID: 4095
This value is fixed and cannot be modified.
•
BSMP IP Address Range:
This is a mandatory field where x.x.x.x is the base IP address for blade servers in the SBCE unit. The IP
address that SOL uses to communicate with the blade system management processor (BSMP) of each
blade server is based on the IP address that is set in this field. For example, if the value that you enter is
10.1.1.1, the blade server in blade bay 1 will have IP address 10.1.1.1, the blade server in blade bay 2 will
have IP address 10.1.1.2, and so on.
•
Accumulate timeout: 5
•
Send threshold: 100
•
Retry count: 3
•
Retry interval: 250
Use the Serial Over LAN Status table to monitor the SOL status for each blade server and to enable or disable
SOL for each blade server. SOL must be enabled both globally for the SBCE unit and individually for each
blade server where you plan to start an SOL session. SOL is enabled globally and on blade servers by default.
The SOL Session status has three possible states:
Not ready
This status indicates that no SOL session is available between the management module and
the blade server. It might indicate that there was an SOL session setup failure that must be
investigated.
