No BMC, severally limiting remote management, so operations teams responsible for physical servers don't want to touch it.
JetKVM is a remote KVM, not remote management. It does not have the same integration into the internals of a server.

- robbiet480 2y agoApple has a BMC on the Mac mini, Mac Studio and Mac Pro. It's called Lights Out Management (LOM). https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/lights-out-management-payload-settings-dep580cf25bc/web https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/lights-out-manage...
- terinjokes 2y agoAFAICT LOM only has three commands "PowerON", "PowerOFF", and "Reset", a far cry from what other BMC provide. It also requires another Mac in the same LAN to be the controller, and you cant use static IPs (which is pretty common for BMC VLANs). Also it seems unsupported for the Mac Pro (2023) this thread is about?
