Oracle ILOM Overview
Oracle Oracle ILOM is system management
firmware that is preinstalled on the server's SP. Oracle ILOM enables you to manage and monitor the server, locally or
remotely, independent of the full power state of the server. As soon as standby power is
applied to the server, Oracle ILOM boots and is available.
You interact with Oracle ILOM using either a browser-based web interface or CLI. You
can also configure Oracle ILOM for interaction through the SNMP and IPMI interfaces.
For comprehensive information about Oracle ILOM, refer to the Oracle ILOM 3.2
documentation at:
