Soyoustart/OVH: How do I understand if their servers supports IPMI?

There are some servers that supports IPMI from ovh/soyoustart and other not.
How do I understand that?
For instance, does SYS-LE support IPMI? 
Thank you

It’s luck of the draw. All OVH servers support it, but when it comes to Eco, it’s literally just luck of the draw. It depends on the rack and the motherboard so there isn’t really a way to guarantee it.

Every SoYouStart servers that I have tested (the SYS-1-xxx and SYS-2-xxx with the Xeon D cpu, and SYS-3-SSD) had IPMI out of the box even though it wasn't advertised.
None of the Kimsufi have IMPI, even as an option.
.
But technically if you run ipmitool you see it's active just that it's nit accessible via the panel...
Last time we had this discussion @darkimmortal got me curious. I wish there was a hack that gave you access to the IPMI on Kimsufi servers, it would be fun.
With ipv6 support in the bmc you could use it as general purpose IPMI, but I don't think any of the kimsufi boxes are new enough for that... yet (the E5's are supermicro x9). As it stands with a healthy dose of russian roulette you can get into the bios
Any tutorial on using ipv6 in BMC?
