Steve, I haven't done it on a HP server, but I have connected to the Serial Management port on a Sun server. I'm assuming that they work in the same manner. Connecting to the Sun box from our Linux system over the serial connection is simply a case of typing: cu -l /dev/ttyS0 -s 9600 This gives a serial connection to the ILOM on the Sun box. Hopefully this will be the same for you.

When trying to query this port with setserial I get.. # setserial /dev/ttyS1 /dev/ttyS1: No such device or address /dev/ttyS1 is as follows.. # ls -l /dev/ttyS1 crw------- 1 root root 4, 65 Apr 27 2009 /dev/ttyS1 The inittab line I've used is.. S1:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 9600 ttyS1 vt100 Has anyone here managed to set this up on a DL380G5 HP Proliant server before ? -- Steve. -- This email contains confidential information.
