Sorry for the ignorance, but I have just googled for BMC and IPMI to discover it is a Baseboard Management Controller and a Intelligent Platform Management Interface. :-). I am the administrator of Raphson workstation and other phd students are the administrators of Gauss and Kalman workstations. So I guess we don't have a BMC or a IPMI installed on our systems.
