I decided to jump into the waters of getting a dedicated server after years of barely managing the system administration on a VPS.
Being a total noob to dedicated servers and IPMI, now I'm wanting to reinstall the OS. I didn't have any important data yet on the server, so I can just start from scratch.
I will be reinstalling with the same OS, Debian 12, as the dedicated server was provisioned with.
Is there anything I need from the previous configuration to note down, that I will need as input with the reinstall?

Stick to the automated reinstall tool in your manager if possible – it’s way easier faster than IPMI.
If you really want to do it manually, just grab your IP, gateway, and subnet mask first. Also check your current RAID setup and think about partitioning now like a separate /home or /var so you don't have to redo it later.
