How to Set Up an Oracle ILOM Remote Console

This task allows you to access your server from a remotely-located client system, using the Oracle ILOM Remote Console.

The following requirements must be met:

• The client must be running Oracle Solaris, Linux, or Windows.

• The client must be connected to a network that has access to the Oracle server Ethernet management port.

• Java Runtime Environment (JRE) must be installed on the client.

• If the client is running Oracle Solaris, volume management must be disabled for Oracle ILOM Remote Console to access the CD/DVD-ROM drive.

• If the client system is running Windows, Internet Explorer Enhanced Security must be disabled.

• The server's ILOM service processor must be set up according to the instructions in the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) documentation for your server.
