About the ILOM Software

Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is an integrated hardware and software package that enables advance-level OS-independent server management and monitoring in both low power and full power conditions. ILOM is factory-installed on a variety of Oracle server platforms, including SPARC-based servers and x86–based Sun Fire servers, Sun Blade server modules, and Sun Blade modular chassis systems. This consistency across hardware product lines provides:

• A single , consistent system management interface for operators

• Rich protocol and standards support

• Third-party management support

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

With ILOM, you can:

• Learn about hardware errors and faults as they occur

• Remotely control the power state of your server

• View the graphical and non-graphical consoles for the host

• View the current status of sensors and indicators on the system

• Determine the hardware configuration of your system

• Receive generated alerts about system events in advance using IPMI PETs, SNMP traps, or email alerts

The ILOM SP runs its own embedded OS and has a dedicated Ethernet port, which together provide out-of-band management capability. In addition, you can access ILOM from the server host OS. Using ILOM, you can remotely manage your server as if you were using a locally attached keyboard, monitor, and mouse.

ILOM automatically initializes as soon as power is applied to your server. It provides a full-featured, browser-based web interface and has an equivalent command-line interface (CLI). There is also an industry-standard SNMP interface and IPMI interface.
