kill

Syntax

kill (blade | interconnect) <enclosure-name | enclosure-uuid>
<bay-number> [<console-index>]

Description

The kill command enables you to terminate an open connection to a serial console.

Usage

kill (blade | interconnect) <enclosure-name | enclosure-uuid>
<bay-number> [<console-index>]

  blade            Terminate a text console session to a blade
  interconnect     Terminate a text console session to an interconnect
  <enclosure-name> Specify the name of the enclosure
  <enclosure-uuid> Specify the UUID of the enclosure
  <bay-number>     Specify the bay-number
  <console-index>  Specify the console index which can be found using the
                   "show" command
* Arguments listed in parenthesis () and separated by the pipe symbol | are
  mutually exclusive choices.
* Arguments listed in square brackets [] are optional arguments and can be
  omitted.
* Fields listed in angle brackets <> should be replaced with the value
  indicated.

To specify which session to terminate, provide a console identifier similar to that described in the connect command. You are able to find the listing of open connections, as well as the necessary information to specify the console identifier, by using the show command with the sessions keyword.

This ability is intended for cases where you have lost the ability to communicate with the serial console even though the connection still exists, or if a higher priority connection cannot be made due to an existing connection created by another user.

Example output

This example output illustrates how to find a list of open connection for an interconnect by using the show command with the sessions keyword and how to terminate a console session for an interconnect of your choice:
console-view> show interconnect sessions
