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>
