Does anyone have any experience/impressions of the "Supermicro Intelligent Management" stuff?

I'm using them on a 128 nodes cluster. The impression is quite good, I generally need poweron/reset commands, bios access, console access. They do what they are built for. I actually had problems installing the supermicro deamon on the x86_64 arch for gently shutdown, but then I discovered that I don't need that deamon (if the machine is not crashed you just rsh...). The only real problem I have is that after shutting down the whole machines, sometimes the power up command doesn't work, so I have to get my hands dirty and press the buttons. But it's a 2005 machine, and nevver updated the bios, so maybe they fixed these bugs.
