Oracle ILOM is system management firmware that allows you to manage your server when the host system is powered down. This is possible because Oracle ILOM runs on a separate Service Processor (SP) that is powered by the host system’s standby power.
The following interfaces provide network access to the Oracle ILOM: command-line interface (CLI), web interface, SNMP, and IPMI.
Oracle ILOM also supports remote access to the host’s system console through a network remote keyboard video and mouse (RKVM). The host’s I/O to optical and floppy drives can be redirected to real and virtual drives on the network. This allows a remote user to perform most maintenance operations, including installing an operating system.
