Yeah. I have a dell r430 sitting unused and a supermicro xeon-d board, both have a BMC.
It’s really nice to have, but server stuff is expensive and power hungry.
Plus, I’ve shifted my way of looking at the setup where I’d rather it just default to starting back up properly. Even if I have a failed disk, if I’m away there’s nothing incan do about it until I’m physically back.
I’m almost 30yrs in it/devops/infosec and I’m no longer interested in owning an excavator just because I can.
