Integrated Lights Out Manager

Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is built-in system management software that enables you to control your system. Using ILOM, you can monitor and manage the components installed in your chassis and server modules, configure network information, view and edit hardware configurations, monitor vital system information, and manage user accounts.

You can access ILOM through several interfaces, such as the web browser interface, command-line interface (CLI), SNMP interface, as well as the IPMI interface.
