John, thst is a good idea.
And can use onboard controllers for power up/down also.
500 nodes equals 500 extra bulky cables!
Ps. Anyone remember the Sun nodes where the BMC controllers had two
dedicated Ethernet ports plus onboard bridge - so you could daisy chain
them up a rack? Good idea.
But ma
The console switch was a customer request, but we can recommend the management
port remote KVM.
Thanks,
John

Can anyone relate experience with implementing the IBM LCM16 KVM switch in a
tiered configuration? We are spec'ing approximately 500 node x86 cluster.
Since you can daisy chain up to 16 servers per port, I would expect the
supported maximum servers to be greater than 256 with two or three tiere
