~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If there are slow or unresponsive BMCs in the environment, the
``command_retry_timeout`` configuration option in the ``[ipmi]`` section may
need to be lowered. The default is fairly conservative, as setting this timeout
``min_command_interval`` configuration option in the ``[ipmi]`` section may
need to be raised. The default is fairly conservative, as setting this timeout
too low can cause older BMCs to crash and require a hard-reset.
