Figure 3-15. Console Redirection Example

Rebooting the Managed System and Activating Console Redirection

Select option 4 in the main menu.

NOTE:

You must be connected to the managed system’s BMC before you can configure the SOL

features. If SOL Proxy is not yet connected to the managed system’s BMC, you are prompted for an IP

address and a username/password combination. See "Connecting to the Remote Managed System’s

BMC" for more information.

The power state of the remote managed system is checked. If power is on, you are asked to decide

between a graceful or forceful shutdown.
Next, the power state is monitored until the status changes to off. Console redirection begins, and

the remote managed system text console is redirected to your management station. Use the escape

character sequence <~><.> to terminate it and return to the top-level menu.
While the manages system reboots, you can enter the BIOS system setup program to view or

configure BIOS settings. See Figure 3-16.

NOTE:

Before activating the console redirection, you must first enable the console redirection features.

See "Configuring Your Managed System" for more information.
