You have several different options for managing your server depending on your situation.
Managing many servers
Your server can be managed with a wide variety of system management tools, created both by Sun and by third parties. For more information on the system management tools, see the Sun Tools information at:
http://www.sun.com/systemmanagement/managementtools.jsp
Here is a subset of some of these tools:
If your server is one of many Oracle x86 and SPARC servers that you want to manage from a single interface, you can use the Oracle Enterprise xVM Ops Center. For more details, see:

If you already have third-party system management tools, Oracle servers can integrate with many third-party tools. For more details, see:

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 the following section:
