Hi,

Do people here normally use KVMs for management of compute nodes or forego those and either have a grad student with a keyboard+monitor on a trolley or rely entirely on remote management cards and/or IPMI?

My problem with old fasion KVMs is that all those extra
cables really mess things up. Plus, they're expensive.

For modern clusters with pretty reliable hardware, I just
use a crash cart or equivalent. I don't need to do this
very often so it works out OK.

Cordially,
