Once in, using your remote desktop application of preference (Remote Desktop Viewer on CentOS 7 by default), connecting to <cernts.cern.ch> using RDP protocol, you can repeat the process and get the console URL from either Judy/Foreman or Openstack.
The server configuration URL will show you different tabs and configuration options. It is impossible to tell you where the needed option will be as each vendor has its own WebUI.
In any case, you will be able to retrieve the SOL (Serial Over LAN) credentials from there to be able to have an open console session through text on your terminal.

If you encounter any IPMI misbehaviour use [`ipmiproxy`](https://gitlab.cern.ch/hw/ipmiproxy) from `aiadm` instead, a tool maintained by our procurement colleagues.
Of course when using SOL you will not be able to see any graphical interface, like AIMS menus, graphical OS installer etc. SOL can help when any other visual console methods fail.
