Integrated RA Features and Functions
Integrated RA provides a wealth of server management features that make it a
powerful remote management tool.
Integrated RA works independently of the
server's processor and network operating system. Integrated RA has its own
processor, application firmware, and communications (via modem or direct serial
connection) which are entirely separate from server components. A standby power
feature keeps Integrated RA functional even when the server is shut down and
powered off.
Console Redirection
An administrator at a remote client (connected to the server via a modem or
dedicated serial cable) can view the server screen and take control of the
keyboard
—
performing operations as if he or she were seated at the server.
(Integrated RA supports character-based server console screens and Windows
graphics console redirection.)
Remote server reset.
An administrator at a remote client has virtual control of the
server's power states. He or she can reset the server either via a hard reset, or a
complete power cycle. Console redirection is automatically enabled during reboot,
