D.

Check the settings of the serial connection

Answers
D.

Check the settings of the serial connection

Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

When connecting to a Dell EMC PowerScale F600 node via a serial connection and the session is unresponsive, the most common issue is incorrect serial connection settings.

Key Points:

Serial Connection Settings:

The serial console requires specific settings to communicate properly:

Baud rate: 115200

Data bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop bits: 1

Flow control: None

Incorrect settings will result in an unresponsive or garbled session.

Troubleshooting Steps:

Verify that the serial connection parameters match the required settings.

Ensure that the correct serial port is being used.

Check the physical connection for loose cables or faulty adapters.

Other Considerations:

The serial port on the node does not need to be enabled from the front panel.

Connecting to the primary node or configuring the cluster is not necessary for serial console access.
