  Unless what doesn’t boot, the KVM? Isn’t the point that this should work even if the host is not working?

  As long as the host posts it should work. If it’s a hardware issue then it won’t help though.

    No, the OS that would be running Tailscale or Wireguard. If the OS doesn’t boot, those remote access options don’t work, which is where a KVM comes in handy, rather than having to hook up a monitor and keyboard.

      Tailscale/Wireguard are installed on the KVM itself, not the server you are trying to access. It’s just a Linux machine after all.

        Ah, now I understand, thank you.

        But can it run it though? Does it have enough power?

      That would be the KVM OS.

  If the machine doesn’t boot then you can use this to access the bios and boot a recovery environment of your choice remotely using pxeboot.
