Reporting a bug in the X2100?
Well I hope someone on the X2100 dev team sees this.
Just got a X2100 in and the default BIOS settings it ships with prevent Serial Console Redirection from working.
Two BIOS settings are in question -
1) Console redirection is set to go to the SDMC, not COM1 by default.
2) When console redirection is set to COM1, it does not work unless the address/irq settings for COM1 are set to Auto rather than the default hard setting of IRQ3.
BIOS rev reported is 1.0.0.

See BIOS revision 1.0.7 on the SUN x2100 "Firmware and Drivers" page. http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/x2100/downloads.jspAlso, the x2100 console requires a null modem cable, not a straight through.

Yes, I finally found some connectors in the lab that work.I now have the X2100's in the lab connected to a Avocent CPS so I have ssh access to the serial ports.I need more connectors, can you recommend a vendor/place to get them cheaply?Thanks,Fletcher.
