We login to each control-plane (pri and bu) once a day via OOB. But
according to my monte carlo[0] simulation availability of OOB can be
pretty bad, and it should still be up when it's needed. So you can
probably do it less often than once a day and have a very high
probability of having useful OOB when needed.
