DRAV vs iLo

2006-03-21 Thread Gaby vanhegan
Who wins in the OpenBSD world?  DRAC (Dell Remote Admin Card) or iLo  
(HP's Integrated Lights Out)?  We're looking at new servers and are  
wondering if these are worth the cash, or which is the one to go for?

I've never used DRAC, but ILO (the real deal, like in HP360G4) is
pretty solid. Stay away from the el-cheapo variants found in DL145 and
the like. You might want to purchase the Advanced pack, since that
gives you fancy stuff like remote ISO mount from you workstation. I've
also used Sun's ILOM. HP's is still better IMHO.
