How should I remotely manage Dell Poweredge 2850 running Ubuntu server?
- by Saul
First I've got to say I'm a Linux / Ubuntu novice, so go gentle on me
as I'm on day 3.
I've managed to get Ubuntu server Ubuntu 8.04 LTS installed and
running on the Poweredge 1850 I bought off ebay. The box will go in a
rack at my office but I want to be able to work on it and power on and
off from home and I gather that (maybe) IPMI over LAN might be the way
to do this, or maybe its something to do with BMC or something?
I want to be able to administer/manage from a client PC at home
running XP. I will be configuring the office router to port forward
port 80 and 443 to the Ubuntu server running Apache2, and I'm puzzled
about how the remote management works (unless it comes on a different
port forwarded to a different internal IP)
Thanks for any help
