Oracle Hardware Management Pack Security Summary

Important security items to remember when configuring all system management tools are:

• System management products can be used to obtain a bootable root environment.

  With a bootable root environment, you can obtain Oracle ILOM access, Oracle System Assistant access, and hard disk access.

• System management products include powerful tools that require root access to run.

  With this level of access, it is possible to change hardware configuration and erase data.
