Does anyone know of a reasonably priced one? Our newer servers, we've been
using HP servers, so that we have this built in, but I have 6 older servers
that I'd love to be able to deal with remotely without headaches ... I only
need to be able to access one at a time ...
I've tried the 'serial console' route, but if the server crashes, logging
in to
the serial console doesn't show you anything, whereas, with the HP 'remote
console' feature, its the same as a KVM, where running it does a screen
refresh, so that I can see what is on the screen at the time of the crash ...
The simplest thing you can do is to make sure you are logging the console
messages. I set all remote servers to log the actual console output to a
separate log file in /etc/syslog.conf adding the line:
console.info /var/log/console.log
and adding a line to /etc/newsyslog.conf to rotate the logs:
/var/log/console.log 600 5 100 * J
