Title: Remotely Managing Mining Rigs?
Post by: Sage on March 20, 2013, 04:02:14 AM
Newbie question:

Is it possible to setup software that allows me to remotely manage my rigs?

you should be able to secure shell (ssh) into any system you control and in theory deal with the mining software too and check diagnostics of your system

If I set it up as you describe, at the physical rig location, other then making sure the power and connection stays on, is there anything else I would need to accommodate for?

If you're using Windows: Logmein
If you're using Linux: SSH or VNC.

Thanks. 

So with Logmein, as long as the power and connection stays on, everything else can be managed remotely?  Nothing else I need to plan for?

you need to take into account a way to reset power connection in case the system freeze

A network based KVM (or serial KVM which can be accessed through a terminal server) is useful if your OS crashes and you have to re-install and maybe fiddle in the BIOS. Many motherboards supports IPMI for this. IPMI will usually let you power cycle your motherboard as well as monitor fan speeds and temperature.

Other than that ssh for login to your system (assuming Linux)
