Search help

Note: Searching from the top-level index page will search all documents. Searching from a specific document will search only that document.

Find an exact phrase: Wrap your search phrase in "" (double quotes) to only get results where the phrase is exactly matched. For example "PyTorch for the IPU" or "replicated tensor sharding"
Prefix query: Add an * (asterisk) at the end of any word to indicate a prefix query. This will return results containing all words with the specific prefix. For example tensor*

Fuzzy search: Use ~N (tilde followed by a number) at the end of any word for a fuzzy search. This will return results that are similar to the search word. N specifies the “edit distance” (fuzziness) of the match. For example Polibs~1
Words close to each other: ~N (tilde followed by a number) after a phrase (in quotes) returns results where the words are close to each other. N is the maximum number of positions allowed between matching words. For example "ipu version"~2
Logical operators. You can use the following logical operators in a search:
- + signifies AND operation
- | signifies OR operation
- - negates a single word or phrase (returns results without that word or phrase)
- () controls operator precedence

11. Serial over LAN (SoL)

This section describes how to get access to the serial console of the IPU-Gateway over the LAN interface. Serial over LAN (SoL) support is only available using the CLI and IPMI interfaces.

11.1. BMC command line

On the BMC command line, use the obmc-console-client command to access the IPU-Gateway serial console. If the chassis is powered on, a prompt appears and authentication is needed to log in.

To exit from obmc-console-client, type: <Return>~~.. (Note: two ~ characters)
To exit from the ssh session to BMC, type: <Return>~.

In order to directly connect to the IPU-Gateway serial console from a remote machine, use the command:

$ ssh root@<BMC-IP> -p 2200

11.2. IPMI

To access the IPU-Gateway serial console using IPMI, use the following command:

$ ipmitool -I lanplus -C 3 -p 623 -U <bmcuser> -P <bmcpass> -H <bmcip> sol activate

To exit from the console, type: <Return>~~. (Note: two ~ characters)
