You may not be able to physically access the console but console access should still be possible either by getting someone else to physically eyeball it or a launch remote console session yourself. How about using something like a Cyclades terminal server to access one or more host consoles remotely via ssh? Even if a Cyclades is not an option then what about a network connected management facility such as an ALOM/ILOM or similar? Again via ssh, login and launch the console process from there. As long as the chassis had power then you should have LOM access if the WAN is available. Voila! Serial console heaven from the other side of the world even. Sure talking someone on the other end of a phone through a system recovery is not the easiest of tasks and it may not be as quick as direct connect in the same room or even an ssh session over your LAN but it sure would beat an acoustic coupled 300 baud half duplex modem that we used to use at AWA to dial in and fix GFE's etc. So how do you access your system console?

To use that tool, he would have to be on the same subnet/network as the
server (i.e. he would have to vpn into their system, or remote
desktop/vnc/etc into a system they have over there that had the admin tool
installed).
Having said that I think that's a great idea, the customer could setup a
windows system with the admin tool installed and logmein/gotomypc/etc
(which would NOT require vpn access) so that he could access the system
remotely and run uniadmin

Re: [U2] Unidata 6.1.13/AIX 5.3 Stops Unexpectedly
Hi Doug,
We use UniVerse instead of UniData, but I understand the tools are the same.
You do not need to be on the same subnet or network, but you do need access to
the subnet/network for the RPC port. I have successfully connected to
external servers without a problem, you may need to use an IP address rather
than the host name but that depends on how you have things configured.
I would strongly recommend that you use a VPN or a gateway to access your
server, this keeps your sever and network secure. I think using VPN is easier
to use with the admin tools than setting up a gateway.

Re: [U2] Unidata 6.1.13/AIX 5.3 Stops Unexpectedly
Your right that if the server have an external IP then certainly you could
access it but I doubt many companies actually do that (put an external IP on
an internal sever but it can certainly be done).
Then there is always firewall port forwarding that could allow an internal
server to be accessed externally, but in all these cases you need a good
system/network admin to ensure its setup and secure.
Anyway we are getting off topic, so if we want to continue this discussion
we should probably move it to its own thread.
But good points

You do not need to be on the same subnet or network, but you do need access to the subnet/network for the RPC port. I have successfully connected to external servers without a problem, you may need to use an IP address rather than the host name but that depends on how you have things configured. I would strongly recommend that you use a VPN or a gateway to access your server, this keeps your sever and network secure. I think using VPN is easier to use with the admin tools than setting up a gateway.

Having said that I think that's a great idea, the customer could setup a windows system with the admin tool installed and logmein/gotomypc/etc (which would NOT require vpn access) so that he could access the system remotely and run uniadmin Dougc -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Robert Frailey Sent: Monday, January 21, 2013 11:52 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Unidata 6.1.13/AIX 5.3 Stops Unexpectedly Didn't you get Unidata admin tools?
