Do I need a post about ipmi?

Question

linux

Now I started to deal with this technology on my server. Since there is nothing on the subject here (well, almost none), I can draw up my experience in a general educational post and a generalized manual.
Is it necessary or enough of what is on Wikipedia?

Answer 1

If you have something to tell - write. I think people will be interested in learning something new.

Answer 2

It’s generally a good idea to “log” your learning, and if the degree of responsibility allows you to do this (I sometimes lack self-discipline), then go ahead, even if your logs do not grow into an article, it may turn out that someday you yourself will return to them with the thought “I already did it!”. And if an article or a note is born from this, it will find its reader.

Answer 3

Write of course. I started with IPMIv1.5 Intel motherboards. Before the pig squeal, I was glad that I could reboot remotely with one practically one UDP packet on port 623 of the ipmitool program. Then I got acquainted with Supermicro AOC-SIM with KVM over Lan and various goodies such as CD-ROM forwarding directly from my computer. I'd like to know what's new in this area.

Answer 4

Be sure to write. If you have data on the features of different motherboards, then it will be super. Such strange features as, for example, on some Supermicro motherboards, IPMI-KVM from Windows only works with Java 1.6_19.

Answer 5

What kind of training is there?
in 99 percent of cases, ipmi is just the ability to connect to a server remotely when it has crashed, another percent of them are used for more complete monitoring of hardware and automated server management, if you are talking about the first, then what for, because there is a schoolboy level, if the second, then I I don't know anything about this and it will be interesting.
