SOL not working

David,

I guess this must be related to VLAN or Serial Communications settings.

Please refer to the below mentioned article for step by step
configuration of SOL with screen shots:

I think you have the latest BMC f/w, check this link for the latest:

Let me know if this helps...

Subject: SOL not working

I recently got 2 identical 1950s to add to our farm.  While setting them
up I noticed that there were outstanding Bios/Firmware updates so I
applied them before installing the OSes.

Now that they're setup one of the servers works as expected, the other
SOL wont activate.  Power on/off/cycle works using ipmitool -I lan -H
... on both computers.  However ipmitool -I lanplus ... sol activate
doesn't work on one of the computers.

Is there some place that SOL parameters are configured in the Bios that
I've overlooked?

One thing I'll mention is that during POST after flashing the BMC I
noticed on the server that has the SOL problem saying that the BMC
firmware isn't compatible with the CPU.  However on reboot that error
went away.  This problem may have happened on both servers but I wasn't
paying close attention and may have missed it.

I got the Bios/Firmware from support.dell.com for PE1950 yesterday.  The
BMC update was: PE1950BmcA07.exe

Any ideas?

Thanks!
