I've recently got mine running, and I've run onto some things that I think may be useful to others, along the lines of picking parts, powering the unit, and remote power/wakeup management. I thought I'd share, plus get the benefits of any comments on this from this forum.
I wanted to put my server out in the (detached) garage, and to not have to go traipsing out there when it needed rebooted or power cycled - which all servers need sometimes. I found a LAN managed AC power switcher that's cheap. The IP Power 9258T gives you four LAN individually switchable AC power outlets in one box for under US$100. I also came up with ways to make unused AC power outlets on that box emulate the power switch contacts and reset contacts of a typical ATX PC box. They're on my ZFS server blog at rgkeen.wordpress.com I hope this helps someone. It's an attempt to pay back some of the help I received here. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
