Q: Why do I see a connection time-out error message when I perform the Power Reset command using the IPMISH command line tool? A: The spanning-tree feature described in the previous Q&A can cause problems during power management as well. Use the solution above to help assure that power reset and other power management commands can function without network timeouts. Q: Why do some key and key combinations, such as and , not work during console redirection? A: Console redirection uses ANSI or VT 100/220 terminal emulation, which is limited to basic ASCII characters. Function keys, arrow keys, and control keys are not available in the ASCII character set, and most utilities require function keys and control keys for ordinary operations. See "Escape Key Sequences" for more information on the same. Q: Can you use terminal mode simultaneously with BIOS console redirection? A: Yes. BMC terminal mode can function simultaneously with BIOS console redirection. You can escape between the BMC's terminal mode and the BIOS console redirection using the following Escape sequences: Press to switch the system serial port to the BIOS console redirection text stream. Press to switch the system serial port to the BMC terminal mode text stream. NOTE: Because you are switching back and forth between two independently active text streams, data may be lost. See your system User's Guide for more information about configuring and using BIOS console redirection and see "Terminal Mode Commands" for more information about using Terminal Mode commands. 106 Known Issues and Frequently Asked Questions

Known Issues and Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do I see a connection time-out error message when I perform the
Power Reset
command using the IPMISH command line tool?
A: The spanning-tree feature described in the previous Q&A can cause
problems during power management as well. Use the solution above to help
assure that power reset and other power management commands can
function without network timeouts.
Q: Why do some key and key combinations, such as <F10> and
<Ctrl><Alt><Del>, not work during console redirection?
A: Console redirection uses ANSI or VT 100/220 terminal emulation, which is
limited to basic ASCII characters. Function keys, arrow keys, and control keys
are not available in the ASCII character set, and most utilities require
function keys and control keys for ordinary operations. See "Escape Key
Sequences" for more information on the same.
Q: Can you use terminal mode simultaneously with BIOS console
redirection?
A: Yes. BMC terminal mode can function simultaneously with BIOS console
redirection. You can
escape
between the BMC’s terminal mode and the BIOS
console redirection using the following Escape sequences:
Press <Esc><q> to switch the system serial port to the BIOS console
redirection text stream.
Press <Esc><(> to switch the system serial port to the BMC terminal mode
text stream.
NOTE:
Because you are switching back and forth between two independently
active text streams, data may be lost.
See your system
User’s Guide
for more information about configuring and
using BIOS console redirection and see "Terminal Mode Commands" for
more information about using Terminal Mode commands.
