TABLE 3-2Embedded LOM Service Processor Components

Item Port Function

1ELOM hardware ELOM includes the following hardware components:

•An embedded SP chipset. The service processor monitors the status and configuration of field-replaceable components inside your server, such as fans, disk drives, and power supplies.

•Two back panel external connections: NET MGT Ethernet Connection, and serial management port/RJ-45 serial port.

2ELOM firmware Several system management firmware applications are preinstalled on the SP chipset. These operating system-independent firmware applications provide the following system management interfaces into your server:

•Web-based graphical interface

•Secure Shell (SSH) command-line interface

•IPMI v2.0 CLI

•Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v3 interface

		These interfaces call the same underlying system management functions on your
		SP. You can work with one or more of these interfaces to integrate with other
		management interfaces running in your data center.
3	Remote Console	The Remote Console application allows remote clients to view the graphical
	application	console of your host server as though they were directly attached to its video
		connector. The Remote Console mirrors the video display from the server VGA
		device (up to 1280 x 1024 resolution) locally on the remote management system.
		The remote keyboard, mouse, CD drive, or diskette drive appear as standard
		USB devices.
		The Remote Console application depends on the following requirements to run
		correctly. Client systems require a web browser (at least IE6, Mozilla, or Firefox)
		with Sun Java™ runtime environment (at least version 1.6 plug-ins) correctly
		installed. Java is available for free download at http://java.sun.com.
4	Client-side Secure	You must install a Secure Shell communications application on the remote client
	Shell application	system (server, workstation, or laptop) to access the Embedded LOM through a
		remote Secure Shell (SSH).

Many Secure Shell communications applications are available from commercial or open-source distribution. Refer to http://www.openssh.org for information about open-source client-side SSH applications.

5Serial Redirection You can set the serial redirection to display system output or Embedded LOM output. A console can also be started to display system output. By default, the Embedded LOM output appears. The BIOS contains these serial redirection options.
