Introduction to the Oracle Hardware Management Pack

This section provides an overview of the Oracle Hardware Management Pack components and how to use them with your Oracle servers.

Oracle Hardware Management Pack (Hardware Management Pack) provides tools to help you manage and configure your Oracle servers. Hardware Management Pack consists of components that you install on your servers. These components enable you to:

• Use a management agent at the operating system level to enable in-band monitoring of your Oracle hardware over Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). You can use this information to integrate your Oracle servers into your data center management infrastructure.

• Use command-line tools to configure BIOS, UEFI BIOS, RAID volumes and Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) service processors on your servers.

• Use a command-line tool to upgrade your server components' firmware.

• Use a command-line tool to view hardware configuration information and the status of your Oracle servers.

• Use a command-line tool to configure an ILOM trap proxy that forwards SNMP traps from your Oracle ILOM service processor over the Host-to-ILOM Interconnect.

• Use a command-line tool to configure zoning on supported servers running Oracle Solaris operating system.

• Use IPMItool to access server service processors using the IPMI protocol and perform management tasks.
