Brecht, for you and others: we're very happy to take patches, and
would
by happy to include them in the official release (esp. if they can be
done in such a way as to minimize the chance that things break for
site
that don't need support for that device, etc.) We're even willing to
give commit access in our CVS repo to external developers who have
demonstrated that they will submit high-quality patches and be
careful
about not breaking things. The DETER folks, in particular, have
provided
a lot of useful code that's part of the standard release now, and so
we've given Keith at Berkley commit privileges.

Dear Zdravko,
at IBBT (http://ilabt.ibbt.be/) we are running a 100 node emulab
with
IPMI cards (supermicro servers).
We have written some modules for this and of course are happy to
share this.
regards,
Brecht

Hello,
we are planning to set up an Emulab based testbed at our
institute, consisting of approximately 40 nodes, and are
currently considering the various hardware alternatives.
I have a question regarding the remote managed power controllers
- if we install IPMI management cards in our servers, would it be
possible to use these to power servers on/off, and just use
standard power strips?
In the Wiki, IPMI is mentioned only briefly, so I assume that the
Emulab software does not support it out of the box - so my
question is, do you believe that the approach to use IPMI is
feasible? Do you know if something similar has been done before
and how difficult do you think it will be to incorporate the IPMI
support in the software?
Any info on the matter would be appreciated - many thanks in
advance!
Best regards,
Zdravko
