Log In to Oracle ILOM Through a Local Serial
Connection
Note - To enable first-time login and access to Oracle ILOM, a default Administrator account
and its password are provided with the system. To build a secure environment and enforce
user authentication and authorization in Oracle ILOM, you must change the default password
(

If this default Administrator account has since been changed, contact your system administrator
for an Oracle ILOM user account with Administrator privileges.
Note -
To prevent unauthorized access to Oracle ILOM, create user accounts for each user. For
details, see “Adding Oracle ILOM User Accounts” on page 70 .

Launching Remote KVMS Redirection Sessions
To help you manage the server remotely, Oracle ILOM enables you to redirect a server's
keyboard, video, mouse, and storage (KVMS) devices through any of the following redirection
methods:
■
Serial remote console redirection
: View a text-based version of the host console. You can
use the serial remote console to interrupt the boot process and configure server settings in
the BIOS Setup Utility, navigate the operating system file system, or enter commands from
the operating system command-line application.
■
Graphical remote console redirection
: View a graphical version of the host console using
the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus application. You can use the graphical
remote console to interrupt the boot process and configure server settings in the BIOS Setup
Utility, view the operating system desktop, or enter commands from the operating system
command-line application.
