We’re presenting a new add-on shipped with Colocation Manager: IPMI Local! Check the details in the blog post!

## IPMI Local module

[Colocation Manager for HostBill](https://hostbillapp.com/feature/colocation-manager-overview/) is an extremely rich-featured tool that enables to store and manage Servers, Switches, PDUs, KVMs, Blade Systems, Zero-U devices and more. It is one of most powerful HostBill modules which makes integral part of HostBill Data Center edition.

Now, a new add-on is shipped with Colocation Manager: IPMI Local. It allows to control the power of  IPMI-enabled devices using **ipmitool** command installed on the same server as HostBill, provided that the ipmitool is already installed and configured/working. Thanks to the addon Colocation Manager now has the IPMI support for identify, power on/off/reset functions for admin area. Clients on the other hand can perform IPMI on/off/reset calls from client portal, if the related IPMI Reboots client function is enabled.

The plugin requires a few configuration steps to connect HostBill with IPMITool and to connect devices to IPMI – it’s all thoroughly described in [module documentation.](https://hostbill.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOCS/pages/2864480257/IPMI+Local)

## Domain management

This week’s release also comes with a couple of changes in regards to domain management. In Lookup Engine section (which allows to manage domain settings: edit TLDs lookup settings, choose the engine and test the settings for each TLD) there are now two new registrars, that can be used as availability engine: IIS.nu and IIS.se. There is also a small visual improvement, as in 2019 Domain Cart Orderpade, suggested domains will now highlight on results listing.
