[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk server with remote monitoring capabilities

[William Boehlke]

Dell sells a remote management card for under $400 that enables remote
reboots. I know there are others out there but have no experience with them.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk server with remote monitoring
capabilities

Hello, all.

I'm tired of having to drive out to the colocation facility each time my
dedicated asterisk server craps out, just to press the button to do a hard
reboot.
(I'm running 1.05 stable at present, no telephony hardware, as this is
mainly a system that receives calls, no dial-out ability is needed.) 

I've been looking at the fancy xeon-based systems listed on ebay for a
couple of hundred dollars, in the hope that some of them have remote reboot
capabilities, but most of the sellers don't mention this ability, and by the
time I send out email, the item is already taken anyway. :)

So, to cut the long story short, has anyone used one of these server-class
machines with remote reboot capability, and does it really help? Are there
any particular configurations to stay away from? 

The wiki doesn't talk specifically about issues regarding dual-CPU machines,
but in following the chat here on asterisk-users, it seems there are
definitely issues there ... can anyone elaborate? I don't want to spend
money on a fancy system that turns out to be useless for my purposes.

Thanks for any insight!

Cheers,
Maya
