don't those boxes have IPMI ?
Hmmmm, the have an ILOM (monitoring hardware)
I'll look to see if there is a way to get what I need through there. Though ultimately I'd like to get it from the linux side, maybe I can go out the front door and in the back.
Is there a Linux tool for communicating with IPMI? And is it easy to configure?
Doing a yum search I see both OpenIPMI and FreeIPMI
Which should I pick?
