Similarly:
Can anyone recommend an industrial strength KVM rig for a lab
environment of 400+ systems ?
One of the really nice features would the capability to ssh/telnet to
the different ports in order to control an automated installer
environment.
The problem I'm trying to solve is this:
We want to have our product's install be run automatically such that
when a system is automatically rebooted, it uses PXE and DHCP to
invoke a tftp transfer of the ISO image which the client then boots
and installs off of.
Given that the installer usually requires human interaction, we need
a way to "drive" the install process from an automated test
harness. Since the system isn't on the network during the install
process, we'll need console access, hence the need for a KVM
infrastructure.
Any ideas about this would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks.
