Serial Over LAN

Select Blade Tasks → Serial Over LAN to monitor the Serial Over LAN (SOL) status and to enable or disable SOL.

Select Serial Over LAN for each blade server and globally for the BladeCenter® unit. Enabling or disabling SOL globally does not affect the SOL session status of each blade server; SOL must be enabled both globally for the BladeCenter unit and individually of each blade server on which you plan to start an SOL session. SOL is enabled globally and on the blade servers by default.

Select this choice also to view and change the global Serial over LAN (SOL) settings that are used by all blade servers in the BladeCenter unit and to enable or disable SOL globally for the BladeCenter unit.

Start and run SOL sessions by using the management-module command-line interface. See the BladeCenter Management Module Command-Line Interface Reference Guide for information and instructions.
