I mentioned that in the large paragraph above. The problem is that DPM is based on Wake-on-LAN today. Wake-on-LAN is not a "guaranteed science" IPMI and iLO are much better suited mechanisms to power on hosts with greater reliability. Once we see that kind of supported hardware in ESX, I'm sure it will become mainstream. It is still experimental support. I mentioned that in the large paragraph above.

I still don't recommend using it for production environments, I do for test environments. I heard that it will be supported in the next major version of ESX.
