Even with IPMI, you still need a crash cart of some type to initially set up IPMI in the system's BIOS. At the minimum, you need to set the IP address that the IMPI interface will listen on (if it's a shared NIC port), and the password. You definitely don't want to leave the default password. -- Prentice _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
