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.
