We have a Rariton KVM switch to provide access to our Alphas and NT servers.
Yesterday, we wanted to do some configuration changes, so we powered-down
the
KVM switch. When this happened two of our Alphas "Halted" (Black Screen)
When I got the Alphas
running, there was no indication that a crash even occured.
>From what I understand we should be able to disconnect Keyboard, video
and/or mouse and not affect
the system(s).
We also have a loaner alpha system for an upcoming project, I found this
system today at the firmware
prompt. It appears this system crashed because we simply disconnected the
KVM from the system.
Anybody else have this experience ?
Also is there a rariton mailing list that I could also post this question
Thank You
Darren
