Every server at Bytemark has its own console to help you with maintenance and emergencies. The console provides three main functions essential to remotely manage any server:
- Remote access to serial port or video.
- A “power cycle” button.
- A network boot environment to allow you to:
- Reinstall your OS.
- Rescue broken discs or configuration files.
