Sun Fire X4800 Server Specifications
Physical Specifications for the Sun Fire X4800 Server
You have several different options for managing your server, depending on your situation.
Managing a single server
The Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is built-in software and hardware that you can use to monitor the status and configuration of your server. For more information, see ILOM Software Overview.
Oracle Hardware Assistant is an application that you can use for initial server configuration. Oracle Hardware Assistant helps you to update firmware (ILOM firmware, BIOS, and RAID controller software) and to automate installation of Linux and Windows operating systems. For more details, refer to your Oracle Hardware Assistant collection.
Managing many servers
Your server can be managed with a wide variety of system management tools, created both by Oracle and by third parties. For more information about the system management tools, see:
http://www.sun.com/systemmanagement/managementtools.jsp
Here is a sampling of some of these tools:
If your server is one of many Sun x86 and SPARC servers that you want to manage from a single interface, you can use the Oracle Enterprise Manager Op Center. For more details, see:
http://www.oracle.com/us/products/enterprise-manager/opscenter/index.html
If you already have third-party system management tools, Sun servers can integrate with many third-party tools. For more details, see:
