Dedicated Servers FAQ

The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is a set of computer interface specifications for an autonomous computer subsystem that provides management and monitoring capabilities independently of the host system’s CPU, firmware (BIOS or UEFI) and operating system. IPMI defines a set of interfaces used by system administrators for out-of-band management of computer systems and monitoring of their operation. For example, IPMI provides a way to manage a computer that may be powered off or otherwise unresponsive by using a network connection to the hardware rather than to an operating system or login shell. Another use case may be installing a custom operating system remotely. Without IPMI, installing a custom operating system may require an administrator to be physically present near the computer, insert a DVD or a USB flash drive containing the OS installer and complete the installation process using a monitor and a keyboard. Using IPMI, an administrator can mount an ISO image, simulate an installer DVD, and perform the installation remotely.

Installing an OS via IPMI on a Supermicro Server is very easy. Mount the OS disk via IPMI / Virtual Media / CDROM Images or by the Java applet with Virtual Media -> Virtual Storage. After you mount the ISO of the OS you want, just boot your server and follow the instructions provided by the OS setup.

Installing an OS via iLO on a HP Server is very easy. Mount the OS disk via iLO -> Virtual Media -> Virtual Media or by the Java applet with Virtual Drives -> Image File CD/DVD-ROM. After you mount the ISO of the OS you want, just boot your server and follow the instructions provided by the OS setup.
