■Embedded LOM firmware. Preinstalled on the service processor chipset is a library of system management firmware applications. This service processor firmware is operating system independent. These firmware applications provide the following system management interfaces into your server:
■A
■A Secure Shell (SSH)
■An IPMI v2.0 command interface (CLI)
■A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v3 interface
These interfaces call the same underlying system management functions on your service processor, so you can choose to work with one or more of these interfaces to integrate with the other management interfaces running in your data center.
■Remote Console application. The Remote Console application is a piece of layered software that allows remote clients to view the graphical console of your host server as though they were directly attached its video connector. The Remote Console mirrors the video display from the X2100 VGA device (up to 1600 x 1200 resolution) locally on the remote management system. The remote keyboard, mouse, CD drive, or diskette drive will appear as standard USB devices.
Note – The Remote Console does not require any special applications to be installed on client systems. Client systems require only a web browser with Sun Java™ runtime environment version 5.0 or later plugins correctly installed. Java is available for free download at http://java.sun.com.

■Serial Redirection. The BIOS contains two options for serial redirection. You can either set the serial redirection to display the system output or the Embedded LOM output. A console can also be started to display system output. By default, the Embedded LOM output will be displayed. See “Changing Serial Output to Display the System Information” on page 23 for more information.
Sun Microsystems™ has configured the service processor hardware and firmware on your server to reflect the most common default settings used in the field. It is unlikely that you will need to change most of these defaults.
