Node Remote Control

This section describes the tools and configuration options for the remote control of Qlustar cluster nodes.

Serial Console Parameter

The kernel commandline that is passed to a node is configured in a QluMan BootConfig. If you need to set/modify the serial console parameter, you can change it there. There are already pre-defined variants of kernel commandlines for the most common cases.

Access to the Serial Console

To access the serial console use the command console-login. It allows to select the node for which the console should be opened. Depending on the type of console, you need different keystrokes to exit. If you are using

ipmi-console

then you need to type &.

ipmitool

then type ~.

minicom

then use Ctrl-a x

IPMI Configuration

Most servers nowadays are equipped with an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI). Qlustar allows to automatically configure the IP address of these interfaces via QluMan.
