It would be nice if we had out of band access to backup servers.
They have no IPMI - dmidecode suggests the board is a J1900I-C, which has serial. When we get physical access to machines again, and when we move kit to B53, we could add a USB-serial connection from either the routers or vm hosts?
Would need all the normal config for serial, grub + kernel + getty. As we have no way to powercycle remotely, should probably make sure sysrq is enabled and the USB serials are capable of sending breaks.
