Hi,<br />
<br />
what kind of IBM servers are you talking about?<br />
<br />
If it's only for xSeries or Intel/AMD based blades, I'd strongly recommend requesting attention from a moderator to have this Q removed from the AIX zone!<br />

Do the IBM servers have any sort of remote control system similar to HP’s ILO?<br />
<br />
I am looking for a way of remote controlling IBM servers and being able to access the BIOS as well as having complete control from when the IBM server first boots up (and before Windows loads).

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
