Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (Oracle ILOM) is system management firmware that allows you to manage your server when the host system is powered down. This is possible because Oracle ILOM runs on a separate service processor (SP) that is powered by the host system's standby power.
Oracle ILOM Documentation Update
When you update to system software 2.0.0 or newer it automatically updates Oracle ILOM to version 4.0.2.25 or newer.
After this update:
After updating to software 2.0.0 or newer, for information about Oracle ILOM, refer to the Oracle ILOM 4.0 Documentation Collection: https://www.oracle.com/goto/ilom/docs).
For older software release, refer to the Oracle ILOM 3.2 Documentation Collection: https://www.oracle.com/goto/ilom/docs
The information in the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Supplement for the Sun Server X2-8 (formerly Sun Fire X4800 M2) is out of date. Instead, refer to the corresponding Oracle ILOM Documentation Collection.
Oracle ILOM also supports remote access to the host's system console through a network remote keyboard, video and mouse (RKVM). The host's I/O to optical and floppy drives can be redirected to real and virtual drives on the network. This allows a remote user to perform most maintenance operations, including installing an operating system.
