>Howdy everyone,
>Was wondering if anyone has worked with this Supermicro IPMI daughter card >and could speak of their experiences with it. In particular with power >control, SOL, and it's general IPMI compliance/functionality. >Thanks, >Al Al, I've been using pretty much the entire line of SuperMicro IPMI products for the past year or so. I work for a dedicated server hosting company with a few thousand SuperMicro servers all with some form of IPMI. We started with the SuperMicro IPMI 2.0 products (APC-IPMI20 and AOC-1UIPMI) in a variety of motherboards which worked great for power control, reset, sensor data, and serial over lan. Lately, we have been getting servers with the SuperMicro SIM line of IPMI cards (SIMSO and SIM1U). The SIM line has all the IPMI 2.0 features plus KVM over IP. The KVM over IP is better than most, if not all, of the external KVM over IP solutions I've seen. As far as compliance with the 2.0 spec, I haven't tested against the entire spec, but the SuperMicro cards have done everything we've asked them to. To Duncan's and the other contributor's credit, ipmitool has worked great with the SuperMicro cards. I hope this hasn't sounded too much like a commercial, but I am pleased with the IPMI cards from this manufacturer.
