What has worked for your BMC/SoL configurations?
I have a C7 server with a physical RS-232 console, but the config should be similar. I did not have to generate a systemd service for this; systemd saw the console line and automatically started the getty without me having to generate a .service file (as far as I recall all I had to do was generate the proper /etc/default/grub, and then run 'grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg' and it Just Worked).

Now, I have the system set for console on both the VGA and on ttyS0, and I am not using flow-control. Here's what I have that works (again with a physical ttyS0):

[root@backup670 ~]# cat /etc/default/grub
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1"
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console serial"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md.uuid=long-uuid-string crashkernel=auto rd.lvm.lv=vg/swap rd.lvm.lv=vg/root rd.md.uuid=another-long-uuid console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600 rd_NO_PLYMOUTH"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

There should be no need to modify any .service files; simply editing /etc/default/grub and regenerating grub2's config should be enough; it was in my case (I verified by looking through root's .bash_history and finding the lines around editing /etc/default/grub and not finding any edits of any .service files....)
