Re: [nznog] Remote server booting

Im wondering if anyone has used or is using a good solution to remote boot (from complete power down) servers and equiptment?

This i have done in the past by having the bios on the server set to reboot after power fail and that takes care of the rest along with good load UPS's and backup power. But what if you acually had to shut down a server for some reason out-there (backup power fails)?

You could try Wake-On-Lan. Most Ethernet Cards these days have the Capability to do this. Send the Ethernet Card a "Special Packet" which will turn the computer On. Thanks Craig
