Oracle ILOM targets represent all software and hardware components and services managed by Oracle ILOM. Targets are identified by a hierarchical path very similar to the directories and files of a file system. Each target has properties and commands that can affect it.
Target properties are of three types:
Read-only. Display the value of these properties with the show command. You cannot set or change these properties directly with the set command. A serial number is a typical read-only property.
Read-and-write. Display the value of these properties with the show command. Change the properties with the set command. An IP address is a typical read-and-write property.
Write-only. You cannot display the value of these properties with the show command. The value is typically displayed as (Cannot show property). When you set the property value with the set command, it initiates a one-time action. For example, when the commitpending property is set to true, it copies the pending network properties into the standard network properties. The commitpending property then returns to (Cannot show property).
Target commands are specific to the permissions of the user who wants to affect the target.
