In theory, a HW watchdog is considered more reliable than softdog. In practice, softdog works extremely well, and HW watchdogs fail because of miss-configuration or IPMI bios bugs... So IMHO you do not get much added value using ipmi_watchdog. But this is more a feeling - I do not have numbers. _______________________________________________ pve-user mailing list pve-user@pve.proxmox.com https://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-user
