downsyndrome Posted April 30, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 30, 2017 Hello, I'm using Jun's DS3617xs bootloader for DSM 6.1 on my ESXi 6.5 server. I'd like to be able to use the serial console (bidirectionally if possible) since I really miss the screen console output with Nanoboot 5.2 - it really helps with debugging if I can't get far enough to SSH into the VM. I've tried to set up the serial console with the following settings: Direction: Server Port URI: telnet://192.168.1.24:23 (Not using serial port concentrator) When I try to telnet to DSM bootloader VM, I get the following: Trying 192.168.1.24... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host It also does the same thing when changing the direction to "client". More info: I'm using telnet from Ubuntu 17.04 terminal. Seems like it should work ? Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downsyndrome Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share #2 Posted May 1, 2017 For anyone interested, I finally got this to work by setting the VM's serial port 1 IP to the same IP as the ESXi server, and enabling remoteSerialPort rule in the firewall using esxcli.

dajo.joda Posted May 11, 2017 Share #3 Posted May 11, 2017 Great hint, thanks! FYI, firewall adjustment was not necessary in my case (also using ESXi 6.5) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
