HP ProLiant BL10e G2 Server Blade - Manual (Page 136)

Setting Up the System
3. If your Linux server blade uses LILO:
a. Remove the “message=” file specification from /etc/lilo.conf.
IMPORTANT: Step a is necessary because the remote console of the Integrated
Administrator is text-based, and the message file may be graphical.
b. Add the following line to the ‘linux’ image specification in /etc/lilo.conf:
append “console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200”
CAUTION: Be sure the text in step a is indented in the file.
c. Run /sbin/lilo to be sure that your changes take effect and continue with
step 5.
4. If your Linux server blade uses GRUB, add the following line to the ‘linux’
image specification in /etc/grub.conf:
append “console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200”
CAUTION: Be sure the text in step 4 is indented in the specification.
5. Add the following line to the end of /etc/inittab:
7:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 115200 ttyS0 vt100
6. Set “SAFE=yes” in the file /etc/sysconfig/kudzu.
7. Add the following line to /etc/securetty to allow root login on the serial console:
ttyS0
After rebooting, the server blade is accessible remotely using the Integrated
Administrator.
