OSUOSL Data Center Tools project

by Gorantla Sai Krishna for Oregon State University Open Source Lab (OSUOSL)

OSUOSL hosts variety of systems in it’s data center which include a wide array of vendors . Each of these machines utilize some type of out-of-band technology such as iLO or iDrac which allows direct access to the machine power and other features. Unfortunately each OOB tool is different between the command line access and the console access. OSUOSL have begun work on an IPMI management tool, and would like to integrate SNMP functionality with this to create a unified OOB management tool.
