I have an Asrock Rack C2750D4I with ipmi
My experience with using it has been exclusively through the webGUI and
the java applet they provide to access console output over the LAN.
Unfortunately, for some reason I cannot figure out, the webGUI now fails
to respond. An arp-scan showed it stil had an ip on the network so I
googled around and found this project. Sure enough, I can access it with
ipmi-config and see the setup.
I am primarily trying to establish an SOL connection to monitor reboots
when I do server upgrades.
As a bonus, it would be nice to get the webGUI back, or at least disable
it and use only freeipmi.
So far I have tried ipmiconsole and it says
[SOL established]
but nothing else.
I have added
SERIAL 0 38400
to my syslinux config on my laptop to enable serial console.
The SOL_Conf section on the server reads as follows:
Section SOL_Conf
## Possible values: Yes/No
Enable_SOL Yes
## Possible values: Callback/User/Operator/Administrator/OEM_Proprietary
SOL_Privilege_Level User
## Possible values: Yes/No

EndSection
I am not sure if it is enabled in the server BIOS as I currently do not
have a way to access it. If it was working in the webGUI, would that
imply that it IS turned on in the BIOS?
Is there anything I am missing that I should be doing to get this to
work?
I'm sorry to be so vague, I am very much flying blind here and am only
trying freeipmi for the first time today.
