5 Target Servers

This section shows the supported target servers. Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center can perform server management tasks on many platforms. All Oracle/Sun servers with ILOM, ALOM, ELOM, XSCF, and RSC enabled service processors are supported. These servers represent the bulk of server equipment (V-series, X-series, T-series, and M-series) available from Oracle. Exceptions are called out in the documentation for specific features should any exist. The recommended firmware is the most recently tested version.

For the Auto Service Request (ASR) feature, Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center supports the ILOM and FMA telemetry sources as well as HALRT faults from Exadata systems. Any hardware supported by Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center that is listed as supported in the ASR documentation at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/systems/asr/documentation/index.html is supported for ASR through Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center using these telemetry sources.

6 Target Non-Server Hardware

Table 6, "Target Non-Server Hardware" lists the supported target non-server hardware.

For the Auto Service Request (ASR) feature, Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center supports the ILOM and FMA telemetry sources as well as HALRT faults from Exadata systems. Any hardware supported by Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center that is listed as supported in the ASR documentation at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/systems/asr/documentation/index.html is supported for ASR through Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center using these telemetry sources.
