  1. I'm running unRAID as a VM under ESXi on a SuperMicro X11 mobo. I hit an issue of the IPMI agent not starting at all without showing any errors whatsoever. Took me quite some time to solve, so here's what I found, in the hopes of helping someone: - The text showing "Connection Successful" on the config page doesn't really tell much. I don't actually think it tries to log in with the given username and password. I changed the password to something definitely wrong and it still showed "Connection Successful". - The password has a maximum length of 16 characters. I found that out by testing the connection from the command line through ipmisel, which showed an error "password is too long". My password was 18 characters, which caused the service to fail silently. Creating a new user with a 16-char password in my IPMI console fixed that.
