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
