Hello!
I hope some people will understand what i am talking about, because the technology, i think, is not very popular, but can come VERY handy.
Intel AMT Serial over LAN (SOL, why is it called 'over LAN' if it is really 'OVER IP'?) allows to boot into BIOS of a remote machine and even, as seen in their demo, can be used to control MS DOS prompt.
well because it isnt using IP, besides SOIP is uninspiring :)
However, i tried it and did not see any boot prompt over SOL connection. As i understand it does not use bios for input/output and therefore data is not sent/received over SOL connection. Thisis a pitty because of boot prompt would work over SOL then remote source upgrade would be much plainless and less risky than now. For example, i could just book old kernel if something goes wrong.
Is there a way to make boot prompt work over SOL?
The othe question, is there such technology for Supermicro mainboards?
It doesnt work the way you think it works, its not just some serial port that spits ASCII characters, rather I believe it requires you to speak IPMI to it.
Of course, if you happen to have an IBM Bladecenter, then it does just look like a serial port on the blade, but you still have to deal with the management controller stuff on the incoming side.
After you deal with all this stuff for a while you will LONG for the good old days of a simple UART :)
Cheers,
