Ich habe heute auf der Arbeit ein neues wunderschoenes Spielzeug entdeckt… Die DRAC-4 Karte in dem neuen Poweredge 2850. Der Rechner alleine is schon klasse (1x Xeon 2,8Ghz – 2ML L2-Cache, 4GB Ram, 3x 146GB SCSI (wird RAID-5), 2x 72GB SCSI (wird RAID-1), 2x 700Watt Netzteil usw…) aber die Dell Remote Access Console ist endgeil. Steuerbar per Konsole oder per Webinterface,
superklasse!
Was es macht: (via http://support.euro.dell.com/support/edocs/software/smdrac3/drac4/…)
The Dell Remote Access Controller 4 (DRAC 4) is a systems management hardware and software solution designed to provide remote management capabilities, crashed system recovery, and power control functions for Dell PowerEdge systems. By communicating with the system’s base-board management controller (BMC), the DRAC 4 can be configured to send you email alerts for warnings or errors related to voltages, temperatures, and fan speeds. The DRAC 4 also logs event data and the most recent crash screen (for systems running the Microsoft® Windows® operating system only) to help you diagnose the probable cause of a system crash.

The DRAC 4 has its own microprocessor and memory, and is powered by the system in which it is installed. The DRAC 4 may be preinstalled on your system, or available separately in a kit.
