Heh, I'd like to know what servers you are running. Our experience with IPMI SOL on a variety of systems has been anything but reliable. It has a notorious habit of dropping out under any sort of load, such as during an oops where you need it the most. It's still better than nothing, but it's a crapshoot. -- Dave Dillow National Center for Computational Science Oak Ridge National Laboratory (865) 241-6602 office _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
