I apologize for the misunderstanding and thank you for clarifying. I found a reference that the DRAC 5 cannot support break through serial consoles other than IPMI SOL (lists.us.dell.com/.../042415.html) and although I have been unable to verify the same for the iDRAC 6 on your R810, I suspect it is the same case. Might an in-band workaround be possible for your use case?
Hello. I configured the OS on my Dell R810 box to use COM2 for serial console. I connect to iDRAC via SSH routinely, and attach serial console with console -h com2. This works as declared. But I unable to send a break into COM2. The regular terminal emulation software, like minicom on Linux, or tip on Solaris, provide a means for sending break into serial line, e.g. by pressing ~# (technically, sending break into serial line is just sending zero bits during 0.25 sec: see TCSBRK(0) ioctl). Please, advice, how to send a break into COM2 using iDRAC6 facilities? Regards,Kostya.
