ILOM enables you to actively manage and monitor the server independent of its operating system state, providing you with a reliable, accessible, lights-out management. With ILOM, you can:
Learn about hardware errors and faults as they occur
Remotely control the power state of your server
View the graphical and non-graphical consoles for the host
Monitor power server module consumption metrics
View the current status of sensors and indicators on the system
Determine the hardware configuration of your system
Receive generated alerts about system events in advance using IPMI PETs, SNMP Traps, or Email Alerts
Access diagnostics supported through ILOM for your system
Note - Storage monitoring is not supported in ILOM for the Sun Blade X6275 M2 server module.
Each node of the server has its own ILOM service processor (SP) that runs its own embedded operating system and shares a dedicated Ethernet management port to provide out-of-band management capability. In addition, you can access ILOM from either the server's host operating system or a remote client. Supported operating systems include Oracle Solaris, Linux, and Windows. Real and virtual optical and floppy drives can be redirected on the network allowing you to perform most maintenance operations, including installing an operating system. Using ILOM, you can remotely manage your server as if you were using a locally attached keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
Each node ILOM SP automatically initializes as soon as your server module is plugged into a power-on chassis. It provides a full-featured, browser-based web interface and has an equivalent command-line interface (CLI). There is also an industry-standard SNMP interface and IPMI interface.
The node ILOM can also be accessed through the Chassis Management Module (CMM) ILOM.
Note - As of the release of this document, the Sun Blade X6275 M2 server module is only supported in a Sun Blade 6000 modular system. For more on supported hardware and software requirements for the server module, refer to the Sun Blade X6275 M2 Server Module Product Notes.
