System Management

Sun Integrated Lights-Out-Manager (ILOM)

Sun Integrated Lights-out Manager is driven by an integrated system service processor that follows x86 standards and is different from SPARC(R) technology-based system remote management solutions. It provides for full remote KVMS (Keyboard, Video, Mouse, Storage) support together with remote media functionality. Lights-out management (LOM) is achieved using an on-board, independently powered service processor with its own robust, security hardened OS. ILOM provides remote administration via an intuitive browser-based GUI, DTMF CLI, remote console, SNMP v1, v2c, v3 or IPMI v2.0 protocols using the out-of-band management Ethernet, or using in-band communication through the server's operating system. With out-of-band management, the system administrator can remotely control power of the system, monitor system FRU status, and load system firmware With in-band management, the system administrator can monitor system status and control system power down.

The Service Processor (SP) provides the following functions:

•

•

•

•

•

Capability to remotely manage the server through remote keyboard, video, mouse, and storage redirection

Extensive control and reporting over environmentals, power, hardware and BIOS/OS features

Remote flash upgrades of system BIOS and service processor software

Remote diagnosis of failed components allows for rapid correction

User configurable serial console accessible via a physical port or re-directed through the management network
