Some IPMIs, notably the Supermicro IPMIs, let you use a Samba share to offer an .iso to the server. This is particularly useful when setting up a server or recovering a server that will not boot. Usually, a live CD can be booted into.
Samba is set up on psiren.gigatux.com and requires the following information in the IPMI page in order to get running:
- Share host: <the IP address of psiren.gigatux.com>
- Path to image: \SAMBA\ubuntu-14.04.3-server-amd64.iso
- User (optional): samba
- Password (optional): <the samba password>
