Configure IPMIs and Serial-over-LAN

Configuration

Variable	Default vaule	Description
sol_baudrate	115200
sol_port	ttyS1
sol_port_no	1
sol_data_bits	8

Example IPMI network/user settings:

ipmiconfig:
  lan:
    channel: 1
    ip: 172.0.0.2
    gateway: 172.0.0.1
    netmask: 255.255.255.0
  users:
    - name: ADMIN
      password: ADMIN
      privileges: Administrator
      channel: 1

Usage on a new hosts requires manual setup:

• Enter BIOS and make sure IPMI is activated and reachable
• While you're at it, some boards also support BIOS via SOL, so enable it if this is the case
• Enable SOL. Note the serial Port (COM3 = ttyS2)
• Make sure to override the defaults with their host-specific values if your configuration isn't COM2/ttyS1 and 115200 baud

Compatibility tested with:

• Debian 9
• Debian 10
