Spider Duo

[Munzy]

I have been trying to re-install my OS over a Spider DUO, but to my misfortune it won't accept my debian net boot ISO. I have tried SAMBA as well, and direct CD, but nothing works. It always says "Disconnected by device". Does anyone have any suggestions????

Try rebooting the Spider.

Try rebooting the Spider.

Can I do that remotely?

Can I do that remotely?

Yep, should be a menu for it.

Usually 'disconnected by device' happens if there's 2 instances of the UI open.

Maintenance menu > Unit Reset > Reboot Device > Confirm Reboot

Reconnect in about 2 minutes

So...

I thought the massive amount of thank yous would be self explanatory... but yes it fixed it. 

 

[bullfrog3459]

Damn spiders but they are "good" most of the time.

 

[comXyz]

277 "Thank You," and 1 "Thank You!"

Correct me if I'm wrong opcorn:

 

[splitice]

I find they are horrible when you are located 350-400ms from the server, KVM has never worked on the spiders for EU servers in my case. Double typing etc.

There might be some firmware or configuration thats not set, but yeah... Im not a fan.

This is why I have this amazing system of...

Using a remote desktop session to load up the KVM.  

X2Go is REALLY helpful for this.

Seems obvious when you put it like that.... and a good use for some Vultr credit.

I have a nice auto install script floating around too!

 

[splitice]

For java & a real browser? or what?

Probably the best auto-install script would be to disable the IE enhanced security mode....

 

[bullfrog3459]

@splitice,

When i have had issues with them doing that, need to change your PS/2 and/or USB settings depending on the model.

Man, those damn Spiders are just a total PITA. We have them at each of our locations, and half of the time they crap out -- but we've never found a better replacement. Does anyone know of one?

Also, @Munzy -- if it ever just glitches out and you cannot access the HTTP interface, you can actually SSH in to those devices (use your admin user/pass) and then issue the command "admin reboot" which reboots them as well.

The SpiderDuo is a bit better than the Spider.  Not really another replacement out there that is as inexpensive and supports virtual media.

Reboots fix every issue in this world
