Hi Al, what you describe sounds familiar to me - and in fact it's kind of fatal: if you run a machine remotely that experienced a power failure you wouldn't get it back up by ipmitool chassis power on (or the equivalent in the web interface of the simso+ card)... Anybody know whether there's a solution provided by a newer firmware? Or is it just a design issue and cannot be fixed this way? If the latter, this would be a STAY AWAY in capital letters for a compute cluster as well as for unattended server applications. Steffen > Yup.

There's 7.3.15 out which is supposed to support even the latest and greatest chips (Gilgal etc) -- Steffen Grunewald * MPI Grav.Phys.(AEI) * Am Mühlenberg 1, D-14476 Potsdam Cluster Admin * http://pandora.aei.mpg.de/merlin/ * http://www.aei.mpg.de/ * e-mail: steffen.grunewald(*)aei.mpg.de * +49-331-567-{fon:7233,fax:7298} No Word/PPT mails - http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
