Connecting to Servers or I/O Modules Using Connect Command
CMC can establish a connection to redirect the serial console of server or I/O modules.
For servers, serial console redirection can be accomplished using:
• racadm connect command. For more information, see RACADM Command Line Reference Guide for iDRAC7 and
CMC at dell.com/support/manuals.
• iDRAC Web interface serial console redirection feature.
• iDRAC Serial Over LAN (SOL) functionality.
In a serial, Telnet, SSH console, the CMC supports the connect command to establish a serial connection to server or
IOM modules. The server serial console contains both the BIOS boot and setup screens, and the operating system serial
console. For I/O modules, the switch serial console is available.
CAUTION: When executed from the CMC serial console, the connect -b option stays connected until the CMC
resets. This connection is a potential security risk.
NOTE: The connect command provides the –b (binary) option. The –b option passes raw binary data, and
cfgSerialConsoleQuitKey is not used. Additionally, when connecting to a server using the CMC serial
console, transitions in the DTR signal (for example, if the serial cable is removed to connect a debugger) do not
cause a logout.
NOTE: If an IOM does not support console redirection, the connect command displays an empty console. In that
case, to return to the CMC console, type the Escape sequence. The default console escape sequence is <Ctrl><\>.
There are up to six IOMs on the managed system. To connect to an IOM:
connect switch-n
where n is an IOM label A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2.
(See Figure 13-1 for an illustration of the placement of IOMs in the chassis.) When you reference the IOMs in the
connect command, the IOMs are mapped to switches as shown in the following table.
