This chapter provides a brief overview about ILOM, as well as defines the purpose of ILOM’s common and platform features offered in ILOM 2.0. The following topics are discussed in this chapter:


ILOM Overview

Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is system management firmware that is preinstalled on all x64-based servers. ILOM enables you to actively manage and monitor components installed on your server. ILOM provides a browser-based interface and a command-line interface, as well as SNMP and IPMI interfaces. For general information about ILOM’s use and capabilities, see the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager 2.0 User’s Guide (820-1188).
