I believe there may be an issue with redirection on COM1. *I know, its confusing, but this is how I made it work reliably. Make note that I am connecting on COM2, and redirecting the serial device from Device 1 to COM2. You enter this menu by selecting at the System Setup Screen, “System BIOS > Serial Communications”, then change to the following settings: Depending on the mood of the chassis, you may enter into a GUI or a Text mode menu where the following settings should be selected. Reboot the server, and at the DELL splash screen, hit the F2 button to Enter System Setup.Ģ. (Don’t get this confused with the IDRAC settings – you NEED to actually reboot the server and get into the BIOS and make these settings.)ġ. There are a few settings we need to make in the BIOS for this to work. ( however – may pose a small security risk, so you decide.) Steps: This is a little complicated, but rewarding, so you don’t have to sit in the datacenter. Whatever the case may be, the purpose of this document, is to show you how to pass the serial connection through the idrac on an Compellent SC8000 controller but this should work on a R720 class Dell PowerEdge server. Has anyone else wanted that? yes, no? maybe it’s just me, and i’m getting old. Now, lets pretend, you want to set this up at your desk, so you don’t have to sit in the cold datacenter, executing terminal commands via DB9 serial. You may then be aware that setting up the first and second controller, is not the easiest configuration task. Ya know, cause that’s what we all learn on. Now, lets pretend that first SAN is a Compellent SC8000. Lets say for a minute you’re trying to configure your first SAN.
