Xserve Lights-Out I’m starting to get really interested in an Xserve. It’s not because I need a server (I don’t), or because of the possibility of virtualizing Mac OS X (which i have no reason to do). It’s all about the Xserve Lights-Out Firmware Update 1.1. The name by itself gives me countless minutes of amusement. Lights-Out? So many puns, so little time. The latest in this distinguished line of updates actually describes what it fixes.

It addresses the intermittent issue that causes the LOM port to be unresponsive. This update is strongly recommended for all Intel-based Xserve systems.

Does that mean I can’t write a haiku? No, you are not saved.

Lights-Out ignores LOM
Management needs this to work
Hooray for Apple
