ILOM Watchdog Overview

Note:

Starting with Oracle Hardware Management Pack (HMP) 2.4.9.0, the HMP watchdog agent and associated ILOM and host watchdog services are no longer available.

The ILOM watchdog periodically queries Oracle ILOM. If Oracle ILOM becomes unresponsive, the host either posts a warning or resets Oracle ILOM.

It also logs an appropriate message into the HMP watchdog log file, and in the host's system log at /var/log/messages.

You can control ILOM watchdog's parameters from the ilomconfig command, or by editing the HMP watchdog agent's configuration file. See ILOM Watchdog Parameters for more information on the ILOM watchdog parameters that you can modify. The ilomconfig command is the preferred method for controlling ILOM watchdog.
