Example-1: Configure a SOL policy with default settings and environment tags.

compute:
intersight:
organizations:
- name: MyOrg
policies:
serial_over_lan:
- name: MySolPolicy
enabled: true
baud_rate: 9600
com_port: com0
ssh_port: 2400
tags:
- key: env
value: prod

Example-2: Configure SOL with a higher baud rate for faster serial output.

compute:
intersight:
organizations:
- name: MyOrg
policies:
serial_over_lan:
- name: MySolHighSpeed
enabled: true
baud_rate: 115200
com_port: com0
ssh_port: 2400

Example-3: Disable SOL access on a policy for servers that do not require it.

compute:
intersight:
organizations:
- name: MyOrg
policies:
serial_over_lan:
- name: MySolDisabled
enabled: false
