After you have installed your server, you have several different options for managing it depending on your situation.
Managing a single server
Your server can be managed with a wide variety of system management tools. For more information on the single system management tools, see the information at http://www.sun.com/systemmanagement/managementtools.jsp
Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant is an application that you can use for initial server configuration. This application helps you to update firmware (ILOM firmware, BIOS, and RAID controller software) and to automate installation of a Linux or Windows operating system. For more details, see the Oracle Hardware Installation 2.5 User’s Guide for x86 Servers at: http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=hia
Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (Oracle ILOM) is built-in software and hardware that you can use to monitor the status and configuration of your server. For more information, see: Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (Oracle ILOM) 3.0 Documentation Library at: http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=ilom30 Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Supplement for Sun Fire X4170 M2 and X4270 M2 Servers at: http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=E19762-01 or http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=E19245-01
Managing Multiple Servers
If your server is one of many x86 and SPARC servers that you want to manage from a single interface, you can use the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center. For more details, see http://www.oracle.com/us/products/enterprise-manager/opscenter/index.html
