Sun Microsystems, Inc.
The core of the model for the DMTF SMASH CLP is a hierarchical objects namespace in which an object in the
namespace is a target to a command. There are two namespaces that an SP can reference: its own
namespace, whose root is /SP, and the overall system namespace, whose root is /SYS. The purpose of the
/SP namespace is to represent configuration and state for the SP. The primary purpose of the /SYS
namespace is to allow access to sensors and other information about system hardware by the SP.
Web Interface
The Sun Fire X4600 ILOM Web interface supports both secure (https) and non-secure (http) access. Secure
access will be enabled by default. The Web interface provides the same functionality as the CLI and is divided
into five main sections:
•System Information
•System Monitoring
•Configuration
•Remote Controller
•Maintenance
Remote Keyboard, Video, Mouse, and Storage (RKVMS)
Remote Keyboard, Video, Mouse, and Storage (RKVMS) features are accessible through the ILOM Web
interface.
Remote video display is accomplished through the ILOM Remote Console, which is a JavaTM Web Start
application. ILOM Remote Console is downloaded from ILOM to the management console machine and
executed locally. It does not run on the server and therefore does not put overhead on the host. ILOM Remote
Console is used to redirect the BIOS and setup screens as well as all other platform video output. It provides a
true remote video console to the management console by handling the input and output to and from virtual
devices and the Sun Fire server. The ILOM Remote Console supports 8- and 16-bit video display up to 1024 x
768 and requires the installation of Java Runtime Environment 5.0 on the management console.
The three USB ports connected between the ILOM service processor and the NVIDIA nForce Professional
2200 enable the remote keyboard, mouse, and storage components of the RKVMS functionality. The remote
devices are presented to the Sun Fire server by ILOM Remote Console and ILOM as virtualized local devices.
ILOM Remote Console captures keyboard and mouse input on the management console and directs it to ILOM.
ILOM then transmits these keyboard and mouse inputs over the USB ports to the NVIDIA nForce Professional
2200 and to the Sun Fire server. The Sun Fire server interprets these inputs as originating from local USB
devices.
ILOM Remote Console is also capable of presenting remote bootable storage to ILOM and the Sun Fire server.
