Think of all the poor souls using KVMs (keyboard video mouse switches) and IPMI consoles to resolve boot issues over the internet, often with latencies in 50 to 100 ms , being on another continent (EU support team working on a server in US).
- toast0 4y agoIf you're messing with IPMI consoles, try to get Serial over LAN (SoL) to work. Sometimes it's a bit fussy to get started, but once you do, it's much more pleasant than a remote video console, if you're looking at a text console anyway. The negative is you don't get any scrollback, unless you have an always on console server. If you can get the settings right, most boards with IPMI can also show the BIOS screens on the serial port too; but I've had some servers where I couldn't get that set to matching parameters with the boot loader/OS, so parts of booting would be silent; oh well.
