Hi Jim,

Sorry for the late reply. Probably you already sorted it out, but I hope to
help anyway.

I would recommend using CloudStack + Redfish as IPMI will soon be dropped
by vendors.
If you check how vendors are exposing the Redfish API you will notice that
there are a few quirks in each of them. Therefore, it "could" require a few
adjustments on the CloudStack Redfish implementation depending on the
vendor.

However, I've implemented Redfish accordingly to Dell and Supermicro
Redfish API documentation.
I have machines from both vendors and they are working fine. So if you have
Dell or Supermicro machines, Redfish should work in CloudStack out-of-band
integration.

Regards,
Gabriel.
