when I type start /SP/console... the console shows up but i cannot type anything over there. I do not understand what might be the reason for that.


-> start /SP/console
Are you sure you want to start /SP/console (y/n)? y

Serial console started. To stop, type ESC (

I pressed enter many times and also rebooted the machine . But nothing worked for me. Could you please help me and solve this problem

Thank you

on X mashines the serial console is not working after the os has booted. you have to use the virtual kvm switch from ilom to gain console access!

Thank you for your advice. But, I think I faced the same problem with someother X4500 machine. But, I could get through it. I do not remember what I did.

Did you use any #. sequence then? Anyway, after configuring your net mgmt port, use the web browser to point to the IP, login through there and you'll get your console.

No i did not use any #. sequence. Actually I do not have access to Web GUI because my ILOM IP address is routed through a Linux box. Its getting difficult for me to upload the firmware as well. I am getting some error saying that no uboot image. Image might be corrupted. Something like that. I do not understand with the help of serial connection to SP can I get through the problem of hang off .

In that case, use a direction connection from your notebook net-link to the net mgmt port. Use a straight cable.
