  I was wondering if anyone's had any success using the BMC's SOL feature?

  If I run `ipmitool -I lanplus -U admin -P admin -H <ip_address> sol activate` I don't get any output when I power on the host.

   

  I've checked the jumpers and they're configured to route UART output to the BMC, so I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, or if SOL just isn't working?

  @Rebecca Cran I just assumed it didnt work, noticed it in service config, but there is no way of selecting interface or setting network port to it.

  Thanks. It's disappointing because I was hoping I'd be able to configure my OpenBMC build to display the consoles but it appears to be something that's just broken.
