Required JDK and Web Browser
  • For IPv4 networks, the 32-bit JDK is required.
  • For IPv6 networks, the JDK170b36 or higher is required.

For supported web browsers, see Supported Web Browsers for Oracle ILOM.

Registration of 32-bit JDK for Video Redirection

The 32-bit JDK Java Plug-in must be registered with the local client web browser prior to using the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console for video redirection.

Related Information:

User Roles and Host Server User Credentials
  • The Admin (a) role is required in Oracle ILOM to modify the KVMS service State.
  • The Console (c) role is required in Oracle ILOM to modify KVMS properties (excluding the State property) and to launch the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console.
  • Host server user credentials are required to access the redirected host server.

Video Redirection and Serial Redirection Use

When launching the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console, users can launch the remote KVMS session using one of the following redirection methods:

  • Serial Redirection (Oracle SPARC servers only) – This option is available for Oracle SPARC server SPs only. When enabled, Oracle ILOM presents a text-based console for serial host server redirections.
  • Video Redirection – This option is available for Oracle's x86 server SPs, and SPARC server SPs. This option presents a GUI-based console for the video redirected host server.

Communication TCP/IP Ports Required

The Oracle ILOM Remote System Console uses the following TCP/IP communication ports by default:

  • Port: 5120 for CD redirection
  • Port: 5123 for floppy redirection
  • Port: 5556 for user authentication redirection
  • Port: 7578 for video redirection
  • Port: 7579 for Oracle SPARC server redirection only

For a complete list of default network ports, see Default Network Ports Used by Oracle ILOM.

Trusted SSL Certificate Support

As of Oracle ILOM firmware version 3.2.8, additional certificate checks will occur if the self-signed Default SSL Certificate is in use. For further information about resolving certificate warning messages for a default SSL certificate, see: Resolving Warning Messages for Self-Signed SSL Certificate .

As of Oracle ILOM firmware 3.2.10, additional custom certificate checks will occur if the custom SSL certificate and private key are not properly configured. For instance:

  • A custom Certification Authority (CA) SSL Certificate and a Private Key are upload to Oracle ILOM.
  • The Java Keystore on the client side is not properly configured with the required root CA certificate to validate the uploaded custom SSL certificate and private key in Oracle ILOM.

For further information about resolving warning messages for Custom SSL Certificates, see Resolving Warning Messages for Custom Certification Authority (CA) SSL Certificate.
