I hate it when a subject doesn't easily present itself ... but ...
Is there something that I'm missing, such that if I add a keyboard to
a server
*after* rebooting it with no keyboard, that will have that keyboard
recognized?
Basically, I have several remote servers, with no keyboards, but if I
need a
tech to check something on the console (ie. the ethernet went down
for some
reason), when they plug a keyboard back in again, there is no signal
until they
actually power cycle the machine ... which of course, is too late to
do any
diagnosis :(
Thx ...
This is a limitation of the hardware in the keyboards and the
motherboards. The only solution I have found is to use a KVM switch
which keeps the keyboard and mouse ports active during bootups.

Aloha,
KVM switch...
This is the way I do it as well with 8 servers in a noc .
