April 13, 20179 yr Just wondering if anyone is using the new beta html5 IPMI browser that SuperMicro is testing as a replacement for the java based iKVM Viewer that is so buggy. Thoughts?
April 13, 20179 yr It seems it's only going to be supported on their newer motherboards, X10 and newer. Quote Will HTML5 work for all existing Supermicro mobos, or only recent models where IPMI updates are more likely to happen? We are trying to kill two birds with one stone so whichever mb has redfish version that will have HTML5 http://www.supermicro.com/solutions/Redfish.cfm

April 13, 20179 yr Author Yeah. I saw that too. Got the beta Redfish version with the new HTML 5 browser from SM tech support yesterday, but haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

Crashes like crazy when I first try to launch it. Usually don't have any problems once I get the window open though. Doesn't seem to matter what browser I use.

April 29, 20179 yr Author Just to folllw up with this, I installed the new beta bmc software. Working great so far. Compared to the old java app, the new html5 browser is like heaven on a web page. Haven't had any crashes at all. The only problem I have found is that the kvm function on the IPMIView iPhone app isn't supported in the beta software. SM tech support says that an updated iPhone app will be released by the time the bmc comes out of beta. Basic appearance/functionality of the web interface seems to be pretty much the same, with the exception of the addition of the html5 selection in the "Remote" menu.

I contacted them initially and was informed that SuperMicro doesnt provide a mac version of IPMIview. The only version I could find on their website that I could use was for iPhone. Moot now since SM hasn't updated IPMIview to be compatible with the html5 browser. Just for reference though, maybe you could provide a download link for the Mac version. I'm sure that SM will update it when the current firmware comes out of beta.
May 28, 20179 yr It's not a Mac version but it works. I took a shot a figured if it was written in Java it should work. It's how I got my first SM board working. Maybe they changed it since but I just keep copying it from one Mac to the other. Don't know a whole lot about PC except if the file type doesn't end in .exe it probably not PC specific. The version I'm using is IPMIView_2.9.28_jar.. Edited May 28, 20179 yr by Russ Uno
May 30, 20179 yr IPMIView has always worked for me. All my boards are X9, so I guess I'll have to stick with it for awhile.

I know this is pretty old, but what all did you need to do to get the Redfish version? Is it a firmware you install on the lights-out management card? I have the x9 and can't use the virtual console anymore because of the java version..

I got the redfish version for my x10 from SuperMicro tech support. I would recommend contacting them to find out if one is available for the x9. As far as updating goes, I bought an Out of Band license for that. Pretty sure this isn’t available for x9. Only x10 and x11. I’m sure that tech support can furnish some instructions for that though if there is an update available.

Mine is a 2017 build X10_352. Was the most recent that was compatible with my board last time I checked but that was 5 or 6 months ago.
