+1, this looks like a solid feature Rohit. I'd love to see where this goes in the future... Maybe automatic power down of hosts idling, and powering on hosts based on load demands. qq: is the ipmi simulation tied, or planned to be tied to 'the simulator'? It would be interesting to see those tied together. regardless... awesome work.
