IPMI Tool 1.8.18
This tool provides Serial Over LAN functionality for the VNXe3200, VNXe1600 and Dell EMC Unity hardware products.
The IPMI Tool is a Windows command prompt utility that is used to establish a Serial-over-LAN connection to the Unity Service Processors (SPs).
The IPMI Tool is useful if you do not have Unisphere access.
Configure the laptop with an IP address for the Service LAN network:
128.221.1.250, netmask 255.255.255.0, no gateway required.
Open command prompts, and use the following syntax to connect to each SP:
c:\> ipmitool.exe -I lanplus -C 3 -U console -P UNITY_SERIAL_NUMBER -H 128.221.1.252 sol activate
c:\> ipmitool.exe -I lanplus -C 3 -U console -P UNITY_SERIAL_NUMBER -H 128.221.1.253 sol activate
