ILOM Software Overview

Sun's Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) provides advanced service processor hardware and software that you can use to manage and monitor your Sun servers. ILOM's dedicated hardware and software is preinstalled on a variety of Sun server platforms, including x64-based Sun Fire servers, Sun Blade modular chassis systems, Sun Blade server modules, as well as on SPARC-based servers. ILOM is a vital management tool in the data center and can be used to integrate with other data center management tools that are already installed on your systems.

Sun is currently transitioning many systems to support ILOM so that customers will have a single, consistent, and standards-based service processor (SP) across Sun's product lines.

For customers, this means you will have:

• Single, consistent system management interfaces for operators

• Rich protocol and standards support

• Broadening third-party management support

• System management functions integrated into Sun servers at no extra cost
