When the Server is dead
Obviously, fixing hardware defects is not possible using a remote management device.
Nevertheless, the ARMC/3P gives the administrator valuable information about the type
of a hardware failure. Serious hardware failures can be categorized into five different
categories with different chances to happen
1
:
Table 1 Hardware Failures
Category
Probability
Hard disk failure
50 %
Power cable detached, power supply failure
28 %
CPU, Controller, motherboard failure
10 %
CPU fan failure
8 %
RAM failure
4 %
Using the ARMC/3P, administrators can determine which kind of serious hardware
failure has occurred (see Table 2).
