How can this app be such hot garbage?

Supermicro makes amazing hardware, built for longetivity and reliability, but this app is the exact opposite of that. The KVM, especially is unusable. The keyboard blocks the view of the screen, instead of shifting the screen up, on a Mac, the KVM is sideways and forces you to use a smushed on screen keyboard?? You can't even use a physical keyboard. This is very poorly implemented. I'd use the web application, but it development was also abandoanded and the Java web-applets are being blocked from running, no matter how many security protocols I try to disable in Java.

This is really disappointing.

Wish it worked better

While technically it does connect and function, display resolution is awful and the display is rotated 90 degrees on my Macbook Pro

FEATURE request

The ability to have notes for each device. So once I've added a server, a notes tab where we can put notes or schedules for each device that I can pull up when I click on the device.

Console unusable on M2

I could almost allow for the rotation issue and have this tool as emergency use only, but it won't accept any keyboard input. I can only use the onscreen keyboard. Try typing a proper root password with that!

Going with 1 star, is there another way to get console?!?

I love Supermicro and their history as a scappy purveyor of fine hardware. I've spent a lot of money over 20 years for their gear, I am very loyal to the brand. But this kind of thing with ILO/IPMI has come up in the past. The servers are all X10 motherboards which are hardly dead. HTML console over current spec HTTPS/TLS is the obvious solution here, but we are being left out to dry. It's really disappointing.

How about some return loyalty, Supermicro?

ipv6 ?

i need ipv6

Could easily be a five-star app...

...but on my MacBook Air M2, the KVM display is rotated 90Β°, so pretty much unworkable.

Even more frustratingly, it opens correctly for a split-second, then rotates.

If you don't need the KVM feature, you may still find this app very useful.

Kvm no longer works

Useful!

Useful app from Supermicro. It just needs more regular updates!

KVM Rotation bug on M1

KVM is nearly useless on an M1 Mac. Stuck in portrait, probably because it started rendering the remote session sideways without informing the OS that it switched to landscape. Should be an easy fix.
