Q: Can I use the
SYSCFG utility to configure
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) over the serial port to access my RAC?
A: No. The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) firmware
does not support PPP configurations for the serial port.
Q: The SYSCFG utility
--lancfgparams option has suboptions that configure the IP address, Gateway, and
Subnet Mask for the system BMC. There is also a MAC address. Are these
the same as the operating system network parameter of the managed
system?
A: No. The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) has its
own IP address, Gateway, Subnet Mask, and MAC address values.
Q: What is the minimum configuration needed to support BMC
Platform Event Filtering?
A: You must enable LAN-channel access
pefalerting and ensure that you set the BMC IP address and Gateway values for
alerting.
Q: I installed the factory defaults for the BMC of my system.
Then, I enabled BMC user ID 3. What is the username for this user
ID?
A: The default username for user IDs 3 to 10 is
NULL.
Q: Can I use this
NULL username to remotely
log in to a BMC of a system?
A: No. Remote login using a
NULL username is not allowed. It is recommended that you always provide
a non-null, valid username for the user ID when you enable a BMC user
ID.
Q: Are duplicate usernames allowed in the BMC?
A: No. If you enter a username value that already exists,
the
SYSCFG utility returns an error code of
89, which means
This username is already in use. Enter a
unique username
.
Q: In
--solcfgparams, when I set the
Serial Over LAN (SOL) character send threshold using
solcharsendthreshold to be 225, I get a
Hardware subsystem error. Invalid data
field in request
. What are the valid values?
A: The range of valid values for
--solcfgparams and
--solcharsendthreshold are from 1 to
220.
Q: How do I enable console redirection on a modular system?
A: Set the
--serialcomm option value
to
enableconred. For example,
syscfg
-serialcomm=enableconred
.
