Commands available at the $ prompt on a DRAC card.

[Furlong, John]

Hello All,

 

We have several Dell systems installed with DRAC cards of various
vintages. On these cards we use both the graphical interface and a
direct serial connect to get console access to the systems, which are
running Redhat Linux.

 

When I log into the DRAC card I do a  connect com2 to get a login prompt
on the server. when I've done whatever I need to do I then type ^\  to
drop back to the DRAC $ prompt and then exit to terminate the ssh/telnet
connection.

 

The problem  is that when I repeat this exercise I get the message about
com2 being is use, as shown here;

 

 

box-DRAC login: root

Password:

 

Dell Remote Access Controller 5 (DRAC 5)

Firmware Version 1.20 (Build 07.03.02)

 

$ connect com2

connect: com2 port is currently in use

 

The only way I know around this is to do a racadm racreset which seems
an overkill to me.

 

Does anyone know a sequence of commands to terminate the session without
leaving the port in this state ?

Does anyone know what commands are available at the $ prompt, I can't
find a list anywhere ?

 

Thanks for all anticipated help.

 

John.
