Oracle ILOM Overview

Language:

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:

This table lists Oracle ILOM features and functionality:

Oracle ILOM Feature	What You Can Do
Web interface and CLI	Display server information in a simple, standardized format that is common across Oracle platforms.
Dedicated service processor and resources	Manage the server without consuming system resources. Manage the server using standby power even when the server is powered off.
Simple Oracle ILOM initial configuration	Configure the network address of the server SP or CMM using IPv4 and IPv6 default settings. Configure BIOS behavior.
Downloadable firmware updates	Download firmware updates using the browser-based web interface.
Remote hardware monitoring	Monitor (Solaris) system logs. Monitor event logs. Monitor audit logs. Monitor CRUs and FRUs, including power supplies, fans, HBAs, PCI devices, disks, CPUs, memory, and 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 serial port and LAN. Redirect the system keyboard, video, and mouse to a remote client browser. Redirect the OS graphical console to a remote client browser. Connect a remote CD, DVD, or floppy to the system for remote storage.
Host power control and monitoring	Power the host on or off, either locally or remotely. Force power-off for emergency shutdown or perform a graceful shutdown to shut down the host OS before power-off. Monitor power management and power history charts through the web interface.
Configuration and management of user accounts	Configure local user accounts. Configure LDAP, LDAP/SSL, RADIUS, and Active Directory authentication.
Error and fault management	Log events in a consistent method for service data. Monitor hardware and server-related errors, including ECC memory errors, reported on a dedicated user interface page, and into SP logs, syslog, and remote log host. Oracle ILOM automatically clears most fault conditions after you perform a service action to address the fault.
System alerts, including SNMP traps, IPMI PETs, and alerts	Monitor components using industry-standard SNMP commands and the IPMItool utility.
