Lightbulb Booting Up Servers from the Terminal Server.
All,

I have a problem with booting up of servers. I am involved in application programming(Perl/Shell), but don't have much hardware knowledge about the Sun Solaris Server's we use.

Our Development Servers are located at a remote place from the Development Centre. Every time there is a Power outage at the Server site, the server's go down. Due to this, we have to ask someone at the site to manually go and reboot the servers.
I think we have got terminal server's between the connection to the server's. I want to know how can i use these terminal servs to remotely boot the servers without having any1 at the site to physically go to the Server.

For e.g Server Name - dev.cli.jd.co.in, Terminal Server name - mhcon03.cli.jd.co.in:901

I have no idea of the concept of terminal server's. I just know that they are in place. Please if you can tell me something about this it would be useful.
Also, I see that many servers use the same terminal server and some have difference is the end number :901. :902 , etc.

Thanks in Advance,
Rahul
