I have a PowerEdge with a DRAC5 card, unfortunately i do not have a windows machine to access the KVM via explorer, so i am trying to access to the server using the console redirection.
So far I have configure the server with the DRAC card to enable the console doing:
# echo 'console="comconsole"' >> /boot/loader.conf
and setting to on this lines on /etc/ttys
ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup on secure
ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup on secure
ttyd2 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup on secure
ttyd3 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup on secure
the kernel also has the device sio line.
and the DRAC card on the server with the following parameters:
Dell Remote Access Controller 5 (DRAC 5)
Firmware Version 1.33 (Build 08.03.10)
$ racadm getconfig -g cfgSerial
cfgSerialBaudRate=115200
cfgSerialConsoleEnable=1
cfgSerialConsoleQuitKey=^q
cfgSerialConsoleIdleTimeout=300
cfgSerialConsoleNoAuth=0
cfgSerialConsoleCommand=
cfgSerialHistorySize=8192
cfgSerialCom2RedirEnable=1
cfgSerialTelnetEnable=0
cfgSerialSshEnable=1
after ssh to the DRAC and trying to connect to the console 'connect com2' i only get a black screen and do not get the login prompt.
any idea nos how to fix this.
regards
