Using the modem connection via the Direct Platform Control (DPC), you can:
• Reset the remote server’s power.
• Reboot the remote server using the service partition.
NOTE: Direct Platform Control is an optional application that may not be installed on
this system. Look for the DPC icon in the right-hand pane of the ISC
Console. To install DPC, rerun the installation program on the ISC CD-ROM.
From the Remote Server
The remote server may be set up to send messages to your console via the
telephone connection.
Setting Up a Telephone Connection
Using a telephone connection requires:
• A modem on both the managed server and the client workstation.
• A server with on-board emergency management features.
In order to use a telephone/modem link to a server, you must configure a serial
connection on both the managed server and the client workstation.
LAN
The “normal” method of communicating with a managed server is via a network
connection. All of the server-management tools will work via a network connection.
A network connection is dependent upon the network working, and upon the
operating system and networking application working correctly on the managed
server.
When LAN communication is not possible, use the telephone/modem link to connect
to the managed server.
ICMB
ICMB may be used to communicate with platforms with operating systems or
architectures that are not otherwise supported by the server management tool
applications.
Using the ICMB connection requires that you have a functioning LAN connection to a
server that is connected via ICMB to the managed server.
