remote system as if it were connected to the Sun server. You can also redirect diskette images (.img files) and CD-ROM images (.iso files) for remote access. Remote configuration issues are covered in Chapter 5.

Browser and Software Requirements

The web-based interface has been tested successfully with recently released Mozilla™ Firefox and Internet Explorer web browsers, and might be compatible with other web browsers.

The ELOM product is preinstalled on the Sun server. However, you need Java™ software on the client to perform redirection as described in Chapter 5.

Users and Privileges

After you log in to the web-based interface, you can perform basic software tasks, Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) tasks, and system monitoring.

ELOM user accounts define what you can do by roles:

■Administrator – Enables read/write access to all ELOM features, functions, and commands.

■Operator, User, and Callback – Enable limited access to ELOM features, functions, and commands. For example, users with these permissions cannot change their assigned roles or privileges.

For more information about users, including how to manage user accounts using the web-based interface, see Chapter 4.

Web-Based Interface Tasks

Some of the common tasks you can perform using the web-based interface include:

Configuring connection methods:

■Redirect the system’s console to a remote client browser.

■Connect a remote diskette drive or diskette image to the system as a virtual diskette drive.

■Connect a remote CD-ROM drive or CD-ROM image to the system as a local or virtual CD-ROM drive.
