I use ipmitool SOL session to get console logs from remote server. Initially session is responsive. If I hit enter, I can see login message to remote server like below.
[SOL Session operational. Use ~? for help]
<hostname> login:
But if I don't hit enter after activating session and try to press enter or any key, it does not do anything. I can see only this line:
[SOL Session operational. Use ~? for help]
I am not sure if the session becomes frozen or not. I can see help after pressing ~? but it is not helpful to resolve the issue. I don't see that login message again.
Is there way to generate some logs on this session without shutting off remote server ? And what are the ways to deal with frozen sol sessions ?
UPDATE I create SOL sessions by using this command:
ipmitool -I lanplus -U <ipmi-username> -P <ipmi-password> -H <ipmi-ip> sol activate
