In the past we've used cyclades console servers for serial

We're replacing 360 nodes which couldn't do SOL with 360

Now that we can do SOL is that a better to use that instead of the
Cyclades?
Thoughts?
Every now and then IPMI gets wedged. We have seen it on all IPMI
stacks. When IPMI gets wedged, SOL stops working.
I recommend redundant administrative pathways ... make sure you can get
to and control the machine in the event of a problem. Some pathways may
not be as cost effective at scale than others.
