Stranger Things Season 3
Might make a start this weekend. But tempted to watch the other 2 seasons again first.

Two of my co-workers don't know what iDrac is. They are network administrators.

@wirestyle22 This is where I'd normally post a facepalm, but copy/paste isn't working for me this morning.... Yes @JaredBusch, it's probably personal problems.
-
@travisdh1 Every day I wake up and I'm like "I need to learn more. I don't know enough". My co-worker told me practically no one we work with is like that but me. With how insanely stressful this job is, I don't know how everyone isn't doing that just to reduce their stress. Knowing something in and out takes away a lot of anxiety for me.

If they only ever used IBM gear, that could make sense. IBM calls it something else.
Now - Network Admins don't necessarily do anything with servers, but instead they work on the 'network'

Management has clearly told them they don't need to, if not in words, then via actions.

They haven't. Didn't know iDrac or iLo. No IBM experience

It's not even a judgment from me because there is a lot I don't know that I should. I just thought they would know it is all

I can't imagine anyone not using iDrac/iLo/ipmi.

Right. It's pretty much a requirement to have something akin to it.

I can very easily. If you're a one man shop, and your servers sit 10 feet from you, you have little need for that.

That's even more reason to know and use it! Makes so you can take a vacation and actually fix s*** when it breaks while the 1 person is away.

Unless you have more than one and don't want banks of monitors and keyboards, or you ever need to access it from home, take a vacation, be home sick, work remotely, let someone else assist, need to work from another office, etc.
I've realistically never worked at a company where iDRAC didn't make sense. It's one of those penny wise, pound foolish things. It seems like you don't need it, but you always do. The problem, like virtualization and other tech, is that it might have almost zero value on day one, but lacking it will likely bite you big time sometime in the lifespan of the server.
We see this with virtualization all the time. Look at threads of people with physical servers, they have great "logic" as to why it doesn't apply to them, in a thread where their entire problem wouldn't exist had they virtualized.

Yup, the more it seems like you don't need it, the more you do!

yeah, I'll give you that.
