Multiple Systems OOB

saa -l <system list file> [-u <username> -p <password>] -c SOL --action <action> [[--bitrate <bitrate>] [--retryCount <retry count>] [--retryInterval <retryinterval>]]

Actions

  • Activate: Activates SOL.
  • Deactivate: Stops SOL.
  • GetInfo: Gets SOL information.
  • Set: Sets SOL transmission bit rate, retry counts, and retry interval.

Options

  • --action <action>: Sets action to Activate, Deactivate, GetInfo, or Set.
  • --bitrate <bitrate> (Optional): SOL transmission bit rate. Available SOL bit rates: 9.6|19.2|38.4|57.6|115.2 (kbps). Only supported with the Set action.
  • --retryCount <retry count> (Optional): SOL retry counts. Only supported with the Set action.
  • --retryInterval <retry interval> (Optional): The interval for BMC to retry sending SOL packets to the remote console. Set in milliseconds; the value should be ten or a multiple of ten. Only supported with the Set action.

Examples

OOB

[SAA_HOME]# ./saa -i 192.168.34.56 -u ADMIN -p PASSWORD -c SOL --action Activate

[SAA_HOME]# ./saa -i 192.168.34.56 -u ADMIN -p PASSWORD -c SOL --action Set --bitrate 115.2

Multiple Systems OOB

[SAA_HOME]# ./saa -l SList.txt -u ADMIN -p PASSWORD -c SOL --action Set --retryCount 3

Notes

  • With the Activate action, SOL turns on in the current text mode; press <F12> to exit. Displaying the remote text console requires the computer terminal or terminal emulator running SAA to support ANSI/VT100 terminal control escape sequences.
  • Command SOL does not support local in-band usage.
  • The Activate action does not support multiple system usage.
