BIOS & IPMI Access

BIOS & IPMI Access

For our Autonomous Intelligence to properly manage all servers, we retain control of the BIOS and Firmware, and access is restricted/disallowed. Tenant needs, such as to the server console, are provided through the Cato Metal Console.

For the highest security possible, each Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) is isolated per server on an internal private LAN, which can only be accessed by the Cato Metal controller and allows for no outbound access. That is, each BMC controller is on a discrete/private LAN from the others.

From within the operating system of a host, you may have access to change settings within the BMC or BIOS. However, this is prohibited in your terms and conditions. Changing BMC or BIOS settings will cause your server to be taken offline until the settings are reconciled.
