This section describes the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) server management option.

Oracle ILOM is a tool that resides on the server service processor (SP). You can use Oracle ILOM to monitor and manage your server.

Oracle ILOM monitor and management functions include:

• Manage the server locally or remotely, with the server power in standby or full power mode.

• Monitor vital system information, view logged events, obtain notifications, and run troubleshooting tools.

• View and edit server hardware configurations.

• Manage Oracle ILOM user accounts using your company's secure infrastructure.

• Access the host console remotely.

• Backup Oracle ILOM and server BIOS configuration information.

The hardware component of Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) consists of the service processor (SP) and the management and Ethernet ports on the back of the server. The interface component of Oracle ILOM consists of either a web interface or a command-line interface.

Oracle ILOM Hardware Components

Oracle ILOM resides on the SP, and you can connect to the SP and access Oracle ILOM locally through the management ports or remotely through one of the Ethernet (Net) ports on the back of the server. The Ethernet ports provide access to the Oracle ILOM web interface, and the serial management ports provide access to Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI).

• The SP and its chipset are on a motherboard-mounted daughterboard.

• Two back panel external connections, the NET MGT port (Ethernet connection) and the SER MGT (RJ-45 serial connection) provide remote and local access to the SP and Oracle ILOM.
