so many to support.... a client started building an API to operate HP-iLO and Dell DRAC. I suggested they don't stray in too many directions and use ipmitool to control both platforms and others, but once I started looking for pages to back this up on Google, I discovered I could not find a compatibility list of BMCs and ipmitool or ipmicmd from OpenIPMI (nor indeed am I sure what the difference is between the two!)
Am I aiming right? is IPMI a good enough standard to support or are there still some BMCs made in the last year or two that do not support it? this page is especially confusing, since it only mentiones IPMI in an old cached version of Google - not in the current one. is IPMI support going out the window? http://66.249.93.104/search?q=cache:PrMCXLaPygUJ:h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/remotemgmt/lightsout100/questionsanswers.html+ilo+ipmi&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1 help? -- Asia's finest Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
