One of these days Using Supermicro's IPMIView on OS X, I can use the KVM Console just fine and is very useful for my datacenter installations. The Text Console option has never worked right and I gave up on it quite a while back. This is with OpenBSD 5.3 and later on X9SCL-F, X9SCM-F, and X9SCI-LN4F boards. Bryan
OT: SuperMicro X9SBAA-F with OpenBSD
Anyone every got their hands on one of SuperMicro 1U server with the X9SBAA-F board in it. I wish I could find a dmesg for it if that exists somewhere. If you have, how is the 1x Realtek RTL8201N PHY (dedicated IPMI)s working out for you? Looks like the IPMI is there via Nuvoton WPCM450 BMC, so I wonder if anyone have one and use it and how's the remote management of it is. Ideal is just console remote access via ssh for install and usual stuff. Nothing graphics needed or wanted. Any feedback would be appreciated if possible on or off list depending if others might be interested in the subject. Thanks Daniel [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature which had a name of signature.asc]

Looks like the IPMI is there via Nuvoton WPCM450 BMC, so I wonder if anyone have one and use it and how's the remote management of it is. On the X7SPA the BMC share LAN port 1. It has its own network controller thou. You can take a look in the official manual from the SuperMicro site to see how to set up IPMI settings in BIOS. Ideal is just console remote access via ssh for install and usual stuff. Nothing graphics needed or wanted. A web interface is supplied by the controller. Basically IPMI supply Keyboard - Video -Mouse (KVM) over IP. Any feedback would be appreciated if possible on or off list depending if others might be interested in the subject. Here is a few screen shots to give you an idea: http://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Supermicro_IPMI_Configuration_through_BIOS_or_Web_Interface I don't use it myself since I have direct access to the console.
