KVM over IP
2.8
When the server is up and running
The IP-KVM gives you a full control over the remote server. The Management Console allows you
to access the remote server’s graphics, keyboard and mouse and to send special commands to the
server. You can also perform periodic maintenance of the server. Using the Console Redirection
Service, you are able to do the following:
I.
Reboot the system
II.
Watch the boot process.
III. Boot the system from a separate partition to load the diagnostic environment.
IV. Run special diagnostic programs
2.9
When the server is dead
Obviously, fixing hardware defects is not possible through a remote management device.
Nevertheless IP-KVM gives the administrator valuable information about the type of a hardware
failure. Serious hardware failures can be categorized into five different categories with different
chances to happen:
I.
Hard disk failure 50%
II.
Power cable detached, power supply failure 28%
III. CPU, Controller, main board failure 10%
IV. CPU fan failure 8%
V.
RAM failure 4%
Using IP-KVM, administrators can determine which kind of serious hardware failure has occurred
