Figure 3-20. Console Redirection Example Rebooting the Managed System and Activating Console Redirection Select option 4 in the main menu. NOTE: You must be connected to the managed system's BMC before you can configure the SOL features. If SOL Proxy is not yet connected to the managed system's BMC, you are prompted for an IP address, a username/password combination, and an IPMI encryption key. The IPMI encryption key value will be ignored if no key was set at the BMC on the target server. See "Connecting to the Remote Managed System's BMC" for more information. The power state of the remote managed system is confirmed. If power is on, you are prompted to decide between a graceful or forceful shutdown. NOTE: This reboot feature mimics restarting the system using the server's power button. A graceful shutdown of the server operating system may not be possible when the server software stops responding, or if you are not logged as an administrator at a local Windows console. In these cases, you must specify a forced reboot instead of graceful reboot of Windows. Next, the power state is monitored until the status changes to on. Console redirection begins, and the remote managed system text console is redirected to your management station. Use the escape character sequence to terminate console redirection and return to the top-level menu. 86 Using the BMC Management Utility

NOTE:
You must be connected to the managed system’s BMC before you can
configure the SOL features. If SOL Proxy is not yet connected to the managed
system’s BMC, you are prompted for an IP address, a username/password
combination, and an IPMI encryption key. The IPMI encryption key value will be
ignored if no key was set at the BMC on the target server. See "Connecting to the
Remote Managed System’s BMC" for more information.
The power state of the remote managed system is confirmed. If power is on,
you are prompted to decide between a graceful or forceful shutdown.
NOTE:
This reboot feature mimics restarting the system using the server's power
button. A graceful shutdown of the server operating system may not be possible
when the server software stops responding, or if you are not logged as an
administrator at a local Windows console. In these cases, you must specify a
forced reboot instead of graceful reboot of Windows.
Next, the power state is monitored until the status changes to on. Console
redirection begins, and the remote managed system text console is redirected
to your management station. Use the escape character sequence <~><.>
to terminate console redirection and return to the top-level menu.
