Known Issues and Frequently Asked
Questions
Q: Do IPMI Shell commands correspond one-to-one to IPMI commands?
A: IPMI Shell provides only the most useful IPMI commands. It includes a definitive set of
commands that can be used to accomplish the most common management tasks. Therefore, IPMI
Shell commands may not correspond one-to-one to IPMI commands.
Q: Can I manage a system by accessing multiple IPMI instances simultaneously?
A: Yes, you can manage a system by accessing multiple IPMI instances at the same time as long as
your system’s BMC supports more than one concurrent connection.
Q: Can I manage a system by accessing multiple SOL Proxy connections simultaneously?
A: No, a system can have only one SOL Proxy connection at any time. This connection is
established when you choose either option 3 or 4 in the main menu. However, if you select option 1
to connect to the remote system, only an IPMI connection is established. In this case, multiple
clients can simultaneously use option 1 in the SOL proxy main menu to connect to the same
system (See the previous question).
Q: How do I unlock an SOL session occupied by another user?
A: Your system’s BMC only supports one SOL session at a time. To unlock a SOL session, you must
reboot the system to terminate the other user’s session. Only BMC users with operator or
Administrator IPMI privileges can reboot the system.
Q: Why can’t I enter the BIOS setup interface during the process of remote system rebooting?
A: When you select item
2, Reboot and activate console redirection, in the SOL Proxy main
menu, the managed system is rebooted first. Press to enter the BIOS setup interface, if the
telnet client you are using supports VT100 or ANSI.
