set comport

To set the serial port through which the system routes serial over LAN (SoL) communications, use the set comport command.


Note

This field is only available on some C-Series servers. If it is not available, the server always uses COM port 0 for SoL communication.

set comport { com0 | com1 }

Syntax Description

com0

SoL communication is routed through COM port 0, an externally accessible serial port that supports either a physical RJ45 connection to an external device or a virtual SoL connection to a network device.

If you select this option, the system enables SoL and disables the RJ45 connection, which means that the server can no longer support an external serial device.

com1

SoL communication is routed through COM port 1, an internal port accessible only through SoL.

If you select this option, you can use SoL on COM port 1 and the physical RJ45 connection on COM port 0.

Command Default

None

Command Modes

Serial over LAN (/sol)

Syntax Description

Strict

When no devices of a particular type are available, the system creates a placeholder for that device type in the boot order list. When a device of that type becomes available, it is added to the boot order in the previously defined position.

If the user defines a boot order through the server's BIOS Setup Utility, that boot order is given priority over the boot order configured through the CIMC GUI or CLI. All device types defined through CIMC that are not present in the boot order defined through the BIOS Setup Utility are removed from the boot order list.
Loose

When no devices of a particular type are available, the system removes that device type from the boot order. When a device of that type becomes available, the system adds it to the end of the boot order list.

If the boot order is configured through the server's BIOS Setup Utility, that boot order is given priority over the boot order configured through the CIMC GUI or CLI. All device types defined through CIMC that are not present in the boot order defined through the BIOS Setup Utility are moved to the end of the boot order list.

Command History

Release Modification
1.4(1)

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to specify the amount of power available to the server components when they are idle. This can be one of the following:

  • C0_state—The server provides all server components with full power at all times. This option maintains the highest level of performance and requires the greatest amount of power.
  • C1_state—When the CPU is idle, the system slightly reduces the power consumption. This option requires less power than C0 and allows the server to return quickly to high performance mode.
  • C3_state—When the CPU is idle, the system reduces the power consumption further than with the C1 option. This requires less power than C1 or C0, but it takes the server slightly longer to return to high performance mode.
  • C6_state—When the CPU is idle, the system reduces the power consumption further than with the C3 option. This option saves more power than C0, C1, or C3, but there may be performance issues until the server returns to full power.
  • C7_state—When the CPU is idle, the server makes a minimal amount of power available to the components. This option saves the maximum amount of power but it also requires the longest time for the server to return to high performance mode.
  • No_Limit—The server may enter any available C state.

Note

This command is operative only if the set ProcessorCcxEnable command is set to Enabled.

Examples

This example specifies that a minimal amount of power is made available to the components when the CPU is idle and commits the transaction:

set PatrolScrub

To specify whether the system actively searches for, and corrects, single bit memory errors, use the set PatrolScrub command.
