Hello Jörgen,

We are using it... Less than 1% of our deployments.

We don't need anamon when everything goes well off course.
But... When something goes bad, when your install has a little thing wrecked...

The anamon becomes helpful to understand what, and when something goes wrong.

We use PXE installation massively.
Last time I used it to debug a fresh RHEL  install on a brand new physical server.
As the RAID card was no supported, the anaconda goes to build partitions on just one disk.

You come back in front of your ILO console, everything looks ok but you don't have RAID1...
Not easy to detect immediately and even worse easy to understand when and why it goes bad.

The good reflex was to go see the install log files and I saw that the raid card was detected
but there was no driver to support it. Fast and rapid detection, brings a rapid solution.
(a driver disk was used).

So yes, we use anamon. It is quite rare but how helpful !

Off course, if you have an alternative purely based on remote syslog. It will be welcomed too.

Hi guys,

Just wondering if there are people out there actually using anamon ?
Please let me know if you do, or don't.
