we are now looking to use the BIOS Serial Console support to perform the same functions as were done with IRC. Although we think we have BIOS Serial Console Support enabled (we are able to interact with the boot up sequence, etc.), we cannot figure out how to access IRC-like functionality (boot server, power cycle, etc.) using the BIOS Serial Console support.
questions then are ... are there corresponding functions in BIOS Serial Console as there were in IRC? If so, how to access?
note: we've read the BIOS Serial Console User's Guide (PDF) ... not much help
also: we are familiar with various lights out options, but would very much prefer to utilize serial access to low level server functions.
thanks very much in advance for any help or insights you can provide,
Jim R.

Re: BIOS Serial Console question - DL380 G2
I mean is the serial port linked to the iLO processor in such a way that the iLO _could_ provide serial port power cycling _if_ the firmware allowd this.
--OR--
Is the _hardware_ design such that it is _impossible_ for the serial port to be a source of commands to control the power?
Thanks

Re: BIOS Serial Console question - DL380 G2
iLO latest formware does let you control the power from the serial port...
Yes I know this is a bit light on the details but fills in the gaps a bit!
