Hi all,
I’m looking into solutions for IPMI / KVM access to my server, which is built on consumer hardware. So far I’ve found
-
PiKVM
-
ASRock Paul
-
ASUS IPMI expansion card
Does anyone have experience with these? I had an old KVM but it ran on Java and flash and hasn’t worked for a looong time.
My primary needs are
-
view screen and interact with host machine
-
remotely power host on / off
I’m looking at the PiKVM route at the moment. Does anyone have experience with ASRock Paul?

ESXi ???
Not conventional KVM. But, think about it… Screen View/Control, Power Control, and more.
Intel AMT
Regarding the ASRock Paul, theres a lenghty discussion on the Level1 Tech Forums: https://forum.level1techs.com/t/asrock-rack-introduces-the-paul-an-ipmi-pcie-card/162977/74?page=6
If, your hardware supports Intel vPRO / AMT (Half of my optiplexes did, as did my HP z240s)… That is a built-in hardware KVM.
MeshCommander can expose this is a nice way -> https://www.meshcommander.com/meshcommander
Pikvm, or blikvm
