When I first learned of IPMI, it sounded like a great idea--a built-in IP KVM for your server, so you could access its console from, theoretically, anywhere. That's been some years ago, and since then, the Java thing has gotten worse and worse. At this point, I can't get the remote console to work any more on my TrueNAS box (a Supermicro X9 series, more detailed specs in the .sig) or my new-to-me Dell C6220.
Bottom line, I want to be able to click the Launch button in the IPMI web UI, and have it actually launch the virtual console. I want to be able to do that on a Mac (my main system), on Windows, and it'd be nice from a Linux desktop as well. I mainly use Firefox, occasionally Chrome. Is it possible to make this work the way it's supposed to?
