2.2 When the server is up and running
The KVM-over-IP gives you a full control over the remote server. The
Management Console allows you to access the remote serv
er’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:
1.
Restart the system.
2. Watch the boot process.
3. Boot the system from a separate partition to load the diagnostic
environment.
4. Run special diagnostic program.
2.3 When the server is dead
Obviously, fixing hardware defects is not possible through a remote management
device.
Nevertheless KVM-over-IP 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:
1. Hard disk failure 50%
2.Power cable detached, power supply failure 28%
3.CPU, controller, main board failure 10%
4.CPU fan failure 8%
5.RAM failure 4%
Using KVM-over-IP, administrators can determine which kind of serious
hardware failure has occurred
