 The Rembo Server
is running on server level computer, which is either a Sun/Solaris
Unix-box, a Linux PC (not necessarily a server), a BSD or a Windows NT/2000
Server.
The management tools allow to start and stop the Rembo services. They
provide also an interface for network based management tools, such as
Rembo Management Console (available for Windows).
When the target computer boots up from a Rembo server, Rembo's Network
Boot module makes a Rembo OS available in the target system's memory. It
also loads all the additional components, including
The Rembo Wizard.
All communication between the target and the Rembo Server is encrypted.
For authentication, server's authentication mechanism is used. If it is PAM, LDAP
authentication can be used, allowing easy enterprise wide user management
for Rembo client systems.
The Rembo Wizard allows
two different administrator users, root and rembo.
All files, including
The Rembo Wizard files are
stored in Rembo Server's file system. It is a network access based,
proprietary type file system with MD5 checksums. Although installed using
the hosting OS' file system, the Rembo's file system should be considered
as a database from the system administration point of view. It is
absolutely necessary to backup regularly the Rembo file system.
During the backup, the Rembo Server it is advisable that the Rembo Server
is stopped. It is possible to
arrange a mirrored Rembo Server for high availability systems that would
answer the clients when the master Rembo Server is down during the backup
(or otherwise unavailable).
