Active Management Technology (AMT) tools
|
||
|
|
||
|
descriptions from man pages:
|
||
|
|
||
|
amttool - remotely control Intel AMT managed machines.
|
||
|
amtterm - Intel AMT serial-over-lan (sol) client.
|
||
|
|
||
|
from amt-howto(7):
|
||
|
|
||
|
What is AMT and why I should care?
|
||
|
AMT stands for "Active Management Technology". It provides some remote
|
||
|
management facilities. They are handled by the hardware and firmware,
|
||
|
thus they work independant from the operation system. Means: It works
|
||
|
before Linux bootet up to the point where it activated the network
|
||
|
interface. It works even when your most recent test kernel deadlocked
|
||
|
the machine. Which makes it quite useful for development machines ...
|
||
|
|
||
|
Intel AMT is part of the vPro Platform. Recent intel-chipset based
|
||
|
business machines should have it. My fairly new Intel SDV machine has
|
||
|
it too.
