IPMI - Intelligent Platform Management Interface

Taro

Taro has a SuperMicro IPMI card installed: LAN: 10.0.0.147
Login as ADMIN with root password.

Initial configuration was through the BIOS (under Advanced). Here you can set the IP address. After that you can manage the card over the LAN interface, either from a web browser, or by using the SuperMicro IPMI control software (over LAN) is installed in /opt/SUPERMICRO/IPMIView/. This control software has a few more options than the web interface.

Setup of system

Basically, I just plugged in the card, then set the IP number.

Finally in Taro, you need to add a line for the serial console to work. In inittab add the lines:

#
# Run a console on the serial line to the IMPI card
#
T1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -r -s 19200 ttyS1 
#

And for GRUB you want to add:

...... console=tty0 console=ttyS1,19200n8r
