incognation Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hello, I have a question about custom API's for dedicated server. In the "productdetails" must come a "Reboot" and a "Reinstall" (with chosing an OS), but I have no idea how to make this because I'm new to WHMCS. I hope you can help me with my problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timgws Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Hi, The "Reboot" button is going to be difficult. What kind of servers are you offering to your clients? Do they have IPMI (or something brand specific, such as Dell's DRAC or Sun's ILOM/ELOM)? Do you have no out of band management? What about power rails, can you turn the power off and on again with an API? Reinstall will also depend on reboots, but it will also depend on having a PXE server. You can have a Deployment Server, such as NOC-PS or Altiris PXE Server (http://www.symantec.com/Altiris), but you will also need to have a network that is PXE enabled (read: DHCP) and the servers should have boot from PXE enabled... either that or you would need code to mount a virtual ISO. It's a difficult subject. Regards, Tim 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
