Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Physical access to servers for maintenance
Even installs can be done remotely. All you need is to remote mount your cdrom or tar up the cd's and ftp the the files to your server. We use Exceed (X emulator) on our PC's and set the DISPLAY variable and run /usr/dt/bin/dtwm (Window manager on Solaris, but any window manager will do). Then you can run the installer (OUI). Most of the servers we work with are in data centers far, far away.

Honestly Ron, installs are the only thing I can think of. We had our prod servers at a different location and believe me I avoided going up there whenever possible. Install was the only thing I had to go up there for.
I've been able to successfully do my job without physically having to be at the console. But then again I haven't worked anyplace where the network has completely crapped out.

Our hardware people are cracking sown on access to the computer
room. They
have decided the DBA group can do all their work without going to the server
itself. This includes Unix and NT server running both Oracle and SQL Server. We would have to use VNC Viewer and PC Anywhere. I am trying to put
together a list of things we might need to do that would make remote admin difficult as well as taking longer. If you have any ideas I would appreciate it.
