I have a couple of Dell R610/R710 servers loaded with iDrac6 system management boards. I figured out how to log into the SM CLP with ssh. According to the dell documentation, I should be able to start a console session by running:

start /system1/sol1

but I get the following failure message:

cmdstat
    status     : 3
    status_tag : COMMAND EXECUTION FAILED
job
job_id     : 12
    joberr
        errtype       : 1
        errtype_desc  : Other
        cimstat       : 6
        cimstat_desc  : CIM_ERR_NOT_FOUND
        severity      : 2
        severity_desc : Low
/system1/sol1 started FAILED at Sun Sep 16 00:20:58 2012

I have enabled the serial-over-lan via the web interface and rebooted, but nothing seems to make them available.
