Thankfully the most of the servers I work with now have remote capability like HP’s ILO which has a ‘virtual serial port’ interface or sun’s console access (ok prompt / ilom). It is how my colleagues and I can administer servers 3000 miles away or when we don’t feel like hanging out in the office we can do it from home. Like me tonight finishing up a kickstart (which also simply rules) and configuration.

ilom rules.

Now if only we could remotely replace physical hardware without paying $150 per hour for a tech to do it.
