Oracle ILOM Features and Functionality

Language:

Oracle ILOM offers a full set of features, functions, and protocols that will help you monitor and manage your server systems.

Table 1 Oracle ILOM Features and Functionality

Oracle ILOM Feature	What You Can Do
Newly designed web and command-line interfaces	Display high-level information in a simple, standardized format that is common across x86 SP, SPARC SP, and CMM platforms.
Dedicated service processor and resources	Manage the server without consuming system resources. Continue to manage the server using standby power even when the server is powered off.
Simple Oracle ILOM initial configuration	Oracle ILOM automatically learns the network address of the server SP or CMM using IPv4 and IPv6 default settings. Configure BIOS settings on the x86 SP platform.
Downloadable firmware updates	Download firmware updates using the browser-based web interface.
Remote hardware monitoring	Monitor system health and system event logs. Monitor hardware event logs. Monitor audit event logs. Monitor customer-replaceable units (CRUs) and field-replaceable units (FRUs), including power supplies, fans, host bus adapters (HBAs), PCI devices, disks, CPUs, memory, and the motherboard. Monitor environmental temperatures (component temperatures).
Hardware and FRU inventory and presence	Identify installed CRUs and FRUs and their status. Identify part numbers, versions, and product serial numbers. Identify NIC card MAC addresses.
Remote KVMS	Redirect the system serial console through the serial port and LAN. Access the keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) on remote x86 systems and on some SPARC systems. Redirect the OS graphical console to a remote client browser. Connect a remote CD, DVD, or floppy to the system for remote storage.
System power control and monitoring	Power the system on or off, either locally or remotely. Force power-off for immediate shutdown or perform a graceful shutdown to shut down the host operating system before power-off. Monitor power management and power history charts through the web interface.
Configuration and management of user accounts	Configure local user accounts. Authenticate user accounts using LDAP, LDAP/SSL, RADIUS, and Active Directory.
Error and fault management	Log events in a consistent way for all “service” data. Monitor hardware and system-related errors, as well as ECC memory errors reported on a dedicated user interface page and into SP logs, syslog, and remote log hosts. Oracle ILOM automatically clears most fault conditions after you perform a service action to address the fault.
System alerts, including SNMP traps, IPMI PETs, remote syslog, and email alerts	Monitor components using industry-standard SNMP commands and the IPMItool utility.
