Virtual Serial Port And Linux - HP Integrated Lights-Out User Manual

Optional Parameters:
-c CommandLine = <String>—Provides additional command line parameters to the selected
debugger. If there are embedded spaces or dashes (-) enclose them in quotation marks. <String> =
A series of characters.
-e = <Boolean>—Turns on encryption for the communications link. Encryption only works with
the telnet option in this version. Default is disabled.
-k = <Boolean>—Use KD instead of WinDbg. Default is to use WinDbg.
-p Password = <String>—Sets the Password to use for iLO login. If not provided, password is
requested. <String> is a series of characters.
-s SocketNumber = <Integer>—Sets the socket number for connection to iLO. SocketNumber
must match the Raw Serial Data Port setting on the iLO you are connecting to. Socket 3002 is the
default. <Integer> = [sign]digits.
-t = <Boolean>—Uses a telnet connection indirectly through this utility from the debugger. Socket
connection to socket 3002 is the default setting.
-u Username = <String>—Sets the Username for iLO login. If not provided username is
requested. <String> is a series of characters. Options can occur in any order.
Example command lines:
To connect to iLO at 16.100.226.57, validate the user with the user name of admin with the
password mypass, and start WinDBG.exe with the additional command line:
wilodbg 16.100.226.57 -c "-b" -u admin -p mypass
This example starts WinDBG.exe with an additional command line of -b and uses a direct socket
connection from WinDBG.exe to iLO on port 3002.
To connect to iLO at 16.100.226.57 and validate the iLO user with the username of admin and
password mypass, and start kd with an additional command line for kd of -b:
wilodbg 16.100.226.57 -k -c "-b" -u admin -p mypass -s 7734
This example starts kd with an additional command line for kd of -b, and uses a direct socket
connection from kd to iLO on port 7734. To use this example, you must configure iLO to use port
7734.
To connect to iLO at 16.100.226.57 and request a user name and password:
wilodbg 16.100.226.57 -c "-b" -t -e
This example starts WinDBG.exe with an additional command line of -b and uses an encrypted
telnet connection from WiLODbg to iLO and passes WinDBG.exe data through the utility to the telnet
encrypted connection.

Virtual Serial Port and Linux

The /dev/ttyS0 device, if configured, provides the ability to obtain serial tty sessions through the iLO
Virtual Serial Port Console. The Linux system must be configured correctly. Refer to your specific Linux
system implementation for the appropriate commands. Some general guidelines include:
The Virtual Serial Port must be enabled through the host system RBSU. The configuration allows
enabling or disabling of the Remote Virtual Serial Port. Refer to the host system RBSU documentation
for the specific server for exact details. Generally, the RBSU contains a tab called BIOS Serial
