It's been semi-common for me on different machines. Fifteen seconds seems a tad long though. The cases in which I've found it to be particularly bad are actually due to non-IPMI reasons (bad network switch settings led to a > 60 second period once). If you consistently see it at 15 seconds, my guess would be this is just the amount of time the Dell's take to have the BMC internally reload its firmware or reset. > Q: Is there a specification that defines how long this period of time > should be? Not that I know of. > Q: If not, what kinds of times are typical? A few seconds is what I've typically seen.
