About Oracle ILOM

Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) provides advanced service processor (SP) hardware and software that you can use to manage and monitor your Oracle hardware. Oracle ILOM arrives pre-installed on all of Oracle servers. It is a vital management tool in the data center and can be integrated with other supported third-party system management tools.

Oracle ILOM enables you to experience a single, consistent, and standards-based service processor across all Oracle servers. This means you will have:

  • Single, consistent system management interfaces for operators

  • Support for rich and standard protocol

  • Third-party management tools and interfaces

  • Integrated system management functions at no extra cost

The Oracle ILOM service processor (SP) runs its own embedded operating system and has a dedicated Ethernet port, which together provide out-of-band management capability. Oracle ILOM automatically initializes as soon as power is applied to the server. It provides a full-featured, browser-based web interface and has an equivalent command-line interface (CLI). Support for SNMP and IPMI interfaces are also available.
