Hi Joan, Thinking about this a little bit more. If you wrote a script that did the two commands I list in the FAQ (ipmi-locate and dmidecode), if you cannot find IPMI via both of those mechanisms, I think with 99.99% certainty, that system won't have IPMI. It's hard for me to imagine a modern-ish server not having something about IPMI in both of those outputs.
