For new hardware I could indeed use this, the current hardware does not support remote console. I don't have experience with ILO nor DRAC but I do have experience with SuperMicro's KVM over LAN which does need a java client to run. If I can enter the passphrase over ssh that would be better as I can use any device including a smartphone to dial in and enter the passphrase.
