IPMI is great and all, but I still prefer serial ports and remote PDUs. Never met a BMC I could trust.

- toast0 1y agoSerial over IPMI, plus ipmi power control is pretty good when it works. Supermicro X10 and newer was pretty nice. X9 and X8 not as nice; it's not helpful when the serial over ipmi drops during reboot and doesn't come back in a reasonable amount of time, and then the graphical mode needs ancient java webstart with os and platform specific jni, oof.
