Power On the Server (Oracle ILOM)
Oracle ILOM operates on many platforms, supporting features that are common to all platforms. Some Oracle ILOM features belong to only a subset of platforms. This topic describes the difference between Oracle ILOM features supported on the SPARC T4 series servers and the common set of features described in the Oracle ILOM 3.0 base documentation.
Note - To perform some procedures documented in Oracle's ILOM 3.0 base documentation, you must create a serial connection to the server and activate the Physical Presence switch on the server. For information about creating a serial connection, see the installation guide for your server.
Among the Oracle ILOM features supported on other platforms, Oracle ILOM does not support the following features on the SPARC T4 rack-mount servers:
Chassis monitoring module (CMM) features, such as single signon.
Note - The T4-1B blade servers in a modular system do support the CMM features.
The POST diagnostics user-reset trigger is not available.
Oracle ILOM supports the following feature on this server, which may not be available on other platforms:
POST diagnostics hw-change trigger. This new trigger (hw-change error-reset) is the default setting for the server, and causes POST to run each time the server is AC power-cycled, or the top cover is removed (if applicable). For more information on POST, see the service manual for your server.
