Hi,
Are there Apple server monitor tools that I can use on OS 10.8 to monitor my OS 10.5 server?
I used to have tools on my 10.6 machine, but now I upgraded to 10.8 and can't find the tools anywhere.
Please help.
Thanks.
Screenshare from the 10.8 server to the 10.5 server.
Make sure Remote Management / Screen Sharing is enabled on 10.5
From 10.8, choose 'Go to server' in Finde/Go menu and type
vnc://192.168.1.2 (whatever IP address of your server is)
If you are managing from outside the 10.5 server's LAN, be sure to open/map port 5900 in your router.

Unfortunitely the only way I've found to do it is to do like UptimeJeff suggested and use VNC or SSH (command-line).
I have the original server administration tools disc for Leopard Server, but they do not install in 10.8.
i got a way to open the Server Monitor App on 10.8.4
take the version from Server Admin Tool 10.7.5
then open the app with ctrl-klick > watch package content > go to the folder MacOS
here is the main application drag & drop this on the terminal or symply doubleklick
now make an alias to your desktop
it really works :-) i don't know why apple this has discontinued
hope this help all xserve users
edit:
i don't check with a 10.5 server, but it works from a 10.8 to a 10.7.5 server
Thank you skynet3020!
With your workaround I'm able to control the Lights Out Management of my 10.5.8 xserves again.
You really saved my weekend! 🙂
okay that's great that mean it run with 10.5.8 too 🙂
regards,
Pat
