IPMI | Enabled IPMI 2.0 or newer | To control the power state of managed chassis, Platform uses IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface), a standard for out-of-band (LOM, Lights-Out Management) device management and monitoring using a dedicated management channel. iDRAC-equipped nodes to be used for Swarm Storage must have the setting Enable IPMI Over LAN enabled, which allows Platform Server to power the machine and commission the node.
