Booting into recovery mode and Web service in 10.7 server

I have two servers: Server A is running 10.6 server and server B is running 10.7 server. Both are on the same LAN at a data center. My questions are as follows:
1 - is there a way to restart server B into recovery mode remotely? (and not using a KVM)
2 - if server B was booted successfully into recovery mode is there a way to screen share with it from server A? If so how would this be done?
3 - can Apple Remote Desktop reboot a 10.7 machine into recovery mode and still continue to see its screen?
4 - in the Server app of 10.7 server there is a default website setup in the Web service. it doesn't seem possible to edit any of the information for this default website, is this true?
5 - is there any way to get the Web service in the 10.7 Server Admin tools? it is missing among many other services.
Thanks

Probability is very high that you have a hardware failure. You should get an external bootable drive (or startup with a bootable DVD if you can) JUST to prove that it's not the motherboard, but probably the hard drive that's failed.

  • F2 button not booting PC into recovery mode and Multimedia Controller error in device manager.

    Hello everyone,
    I updated my lenovo ideacentre b540p from windows 7 home premium to windows 8.1 pro. I have two issues that came up after the upgrade.
    1. I can no longer access the Lenovo rescue system 3.0 by pressing the F2 button during startup to boot into recovery mode which was possible when I was using windows 7 and because of this I am unable to install the software and drivers that came with the PC.
    2. In device manager the multimedia controller driver is not installed. It shows a yellow sign in the other devices group. I have tried different version from the lenovo support site but none of them work. The PC was shipped without a CD containing the drivers but if I can access the rescue system, I believe I will find the driver I need for the multimedia controller.
    Solved!

    Hi RR7,

    It's Windows 8 related, but you'll better understand what may happen when your cloned HD has not the same size as the original one.
    interesting post, thanks. sadly i'm not sure this really helps. i didnt find what i expected.
    the reagent.xml only has two references to offset, and they both refer to the partition that contains windows 7. i have changed this offset on the cloned disk to match the actual partition offset but it makes no difference.
    i don't see any reference to the hidden lenovo partition or its offset in the windows recovery.
    i also cant see any reference to it in the BCD on either the source or clonded disk.
    all i see if pressing F2 on the source OEM when powering on loads a special lenovo recovery environment, and doing the same thing on the clonded disk just shows the windows 7 boot loader option for choosing to boot windows or do a memory test.
    my question still remains, what is the magic thats happening when i press F2?

  • How do I boot into recovery mode with wireless keyboard

    I am unable to boot into recovery mode using either cmd-R or holding down the alt key. How is it supposed to work?
    Message was edited by: Niklas Brunberg (better title)

    I understand your concerns - I'm glad both of my machines are dual bootable (just in case) and I have my Snow Leopard install disks..... However, this is what Apple has decided, so we need to find the best way to deal with it. Personally, I've tested the recovery mode several times and, at least on my machine, it was not reliable (i.e. it wouldn't work - I tried it again and it did, but it spent more than an hour downloading the entire 4 GB installer again and then another 30 minutes installing it), and on a third try, I found that it had vanished because I had cloned by drive. When you clone, only your system is cloned, not the extra partition.
    So, I've decided to rely on a) my bootable clones and b) a copy of the installer (.dmg) in case my clones fail. I don't feel comfortable relying on something that requires an internet connection and a full download to work. But, that works for me; you may want to take a different approach.

  • My iPhone 4s randomly went into recovery mode and iTunes can't get it to restore.

    Last night my iPhone randomly went into recovery mode on me. Just before I went to sleep a bunch of static lines appeared across the screen. The screen went dark and a few seconds later the Apple logo appeared. A few seconds later is disappeared. A few seconds later it came back. So on and so forth. I thought I had turned it off and was going to deal with it in the morning, but when I woke up the iPhone still just had the Apple logo going on and off again.
    I've tried everything today. All the different button hold methods out there. I've tried to sync it to iTunes but the same **** keeps happening over and over again.
    A message pops up saying "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." So I press OK. Then I press the "Restore iPhone..." button on iTunes. It asks me if I'm sure I want to "restore it to the factory settings" and I click "Restore and Update". It then says that its "extracting software", "preparing the iphone to restore", "waiting for the iphone", then "verifying iphone restore with Apple". As this is going on the "connect to iTunes" sign is shown on the screen of the iPhone. When the "waiting for the iPhone" part starts, my screen goes black, then the apple logo pops up. The "verifying iphone restore with apple" comes on the iTunes and the status bar appears underneath the Apple logo on my phone's screen. It sits there for a couple of seconds with no progress and then the screen goes black. Then iTunes has the same **** message saying "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be resotred. An unknown error occured (9)."
    I've gone through this process countless times in the past few hours and have done everything that apple support has told me. The windows system is fully updated. So is the iTunes. I've restarted the computer. I have no idea whats wrong and its making my blood boil.
    A couple of notes about the phone:
    It's over a year old. It's never had water damage. It was nearing the max capacity of its internal storage. This has never happened before. I keep it in an Otter Box. I had very little problems with the phone. Lately a couple of apps like snapchat and the barstool sports app were taking a little longer to open up or would randomly close out and sometimes my camera would take a while to get going. But this problem is just ridiculous and completely rendered the phone useless.

    Hello Sean,
    It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

  • Mountain Lion only boots into Recovery mode after using iCould lock

    Hi everyone!
    I have searched the forums for hours now, but I can't seen to find an answer to my question, so I'd like to ask it.
    Recently my system partition failed due to frequent kernel panics caused by a cable in the screen I think. The kernel panics still occur, but I don't know what to do with them.
    I managed to save my files and reinstall my osx, which is Snow Leopard (the disc came with the computer). Then I wanted to install my purchased copy of Lion through Appstore, but it said it's no longer available in my country and I couldn't download it again.
    Then I decided to buy a copy of Mountain Lion which I tried to install. I managed to do it, and I tried to explore my new operation system.
    I tried the iCloud app as well, including the Lock. It locked the computer, and rebooted, but ever since I couldn't unlock it.
    When it asks for the password I enter it and it accepts it, but doesn't unlock, only lets me into Recovery mode. Now I reinstalled the whole thing over again and when the Mountain Lion install finishes, it only boots into the Recovery HD without asking.
    So if I reboot my computer, no matter what I do it only boots into Recovery Mode.
    Please help!!
    Mike

    I was afraid the Apple Store wasn't going to be an option.
    Based on your previous post, I was under the impression you could download Mountain Lion, but when you installed it, it locked up again. Not true?
    I don't know how to remove it. You can try contacting Apple support through the link below to see if they can help you get this unlocked.

    Go elsewhere:
    Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.

    Looks like some files might be damaged. You will likely have to reinstall the operating system. I hope you have a back up of your data.

  • My MacBook won't boot into recovery mode after new hard drive installation. Please help!

    I just installed a new hard drive. On boot it keeps on going to the flashing folder with a question mark inside.
    I was able to format the new hard drive but am unable to boot into recovery mode to install the operating system over the air.
    When I hold down Command -R it keeps on taking me to the flashing folder.
    Please help!

    A new hard drive doesn't have a recovery partition. It's totally blank.You're going to need either your original install discs or a Snow Leopard retail disc from which partition, format and install OS X.

    Hi there - thanks very much for your suggestion, it did reboot eventually but took a long time to get there.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom
