| 87 | And, of course, you need to create a DNS record so that a domain (e.g. `ipmi.john.mayfirst.org`) points to robideau's IP address. |
| 88 | |
| 89 | == Setup IPMI == |
| 90 | |
| 91 | Now, you can access the IPMI web configuration. |
| 92 | |
| 93 | The default user pass is: ADMIN/ADMIN - case sensitive! |
| 94 | |
| 95 | Here are some important changes: |
| 96 | |
| 97 | * Configuration -> Users |
| 98 | * Change password for ADMIN user. **NOTE** make password 16 characters or less and keep out weird characters. It is possible to lock yourself out with this step. |
| 99 | * Configuration -> Port |
| 100 | * Only check off Web port (80) and Ikvm server port (5900) |
| 101 | |
| 102 | Now, you can access the "monitor" by clicking Remove Control -> iKVM/HTML5 |
| 103 | |
| 104 | == So-called Serial access == |
| 105 | |
| 106 | On robideau, or your jump host, install `ipmiutil`. |
| 107 | |
| 108 | Then, create a simple bash script to help you remember the command: |
| 109 | |
| 110 | {{{ |
| 111 | ipmiutil sol -V 4 -a -N 192.168.56.3 -U ADMIN -Y |
| 112 | }}} |
| 113 | |
| 114 | You will be prompted for the password. |
| 115 | |
| 116 | == Setup Linux == |
| 117 | |
| 118 | After installing linux, edit `/etc/default/grub` and change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX to: |
| 119 | |
| 120 | {{{ |
| 121 | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200n8" |
| 122 | }}} |
| 123 | |
| 124 | And add: |
| 125 | |
| 126 | {{{ |
| 127 | GRUB_TERMINAL=serial |
| 128 | GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --unit0 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1" |
| 129 | }}} |
