Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) provides advanced service processor (SP) hardware and software that you can use to manage and monitor your Oracle hardware. Oracle ILOM is pre-installed on all of Oracle's rackmount servers, blade servers, and blade chassis. Oracle ILOM is a vital management tool in the data center and can be integrated with other data center management tools installed on an Oracle server.
Oracle ILOM enables you to experience a single, consistent, and standards-based service processor across all Oracle servers and blade chassis. This means you will have:
Single, consistent system management interfaces for operators
Support for rich and standard protocol
Third-party management tools and interfaces
Integrated system management functions at no extra cost
The Oracle ILOM service processor (SP) runs its own embedded operating system and has a dedicated Ethernet port, which together provide out-of-band management capability. Oracle ILOM automatically initializes as soon as power is applied to the server. It provides a full-featured, browser-based web interface and has an equivalent command-line interface (CLI). An industry-standard SNMP interface and IPMI interface are also available.
