Oracle ILOM Overview

Oracle ILOM is system management firmware that is preinstalled on most SPARC servers. Oracle ILOM enables you to actively manage and monitor components installed in the server. Oracle ILOM provides a browser-based interface and a CLI, as well as SNMP and IPMI interfaces.

In the server's SP, Oracle ILOM runs independently of the server host and regardless of the server power state as long as AC power is connected to the server (or to the modular system that contains the server module). When you connect the server to AC power, the SP immediately starts up and begins monitoring the server. All environmental monitoring and control are handled by Oracle ILOM.

The -> prompt indicates that you are interacting with the Oracle ILOM SP directly. This prompt is the first prompt you see when you log in to the server through the SER MGT port or NET MGT port, regardless of the host's power state. On a modular system, that prompt is also present when you log in to a server module either directly or through Oracle ILOM on the CMM of the modular system.

You can also access the Oracle ILOM prompt (->) from the OpenBoot ok prompt.

The SP supports concurrent Oracle ILOM sessions per server. Multiple SSH or web connections are available through the NET MGT port, and one connection is available through the SER MGT port.

For more information about how to work with Oracle ILOM features that are common to all platforms managed by Oracle ILOM, see the Oracle ILOM documentation at:

http://www.oracle.com/goto/ILOM/docs

Oracle ILOM operates on many platforms, supporting features that are common to all platforms. Some Oracle ILOM features belong to only a subset of platforms. For example, CMM features only apply to server modules, such as the SPARC and Netra SPARC T5-1B server modules.

To perform some procedures documented in the Oracle ILOM base documentation, you must create a serial connection to the server and activate the Physical Presence switch on the server. For information about creating a serial connection, see the installation guide for the server.
