Chapter 1 Introduction to the Sun Blade X6450 Server Module 1-3
1.2 Service Processor
The SP’s built-in system management software enables you to monitor and manage
the components installed in your chassis and server modules. Using the SP, you can
configure network information, view and edit hardware configurations, monitor vital
system information, and manage user accounts.
The chassis has its own service processor, called a Chassis Monitoring Module
Integrated Lights Out Manager (CMM ILOM). In addition to providing chassis
management functions, it provides an Ethernet connection to the server module's SP.
This allows you to view and configure the server module's network information
using the CMM ILOM.
The service processor operates when the server module is powered on, or in standby
power mode.
Your server module might be equipped with one of several versions of the SP:
■
ILOM 3.0 – This is the newest version of the service processor software.
For additional documentation, see the ILOM 3.0 documentation collection and the
Integrated Lights Out Manager 3.0 Supplement for Sun Blade X6450 Server Module .
■
ILOM 2.0 – This version of the service processor software is also described in this
section.
For additional documentation, see the ILOM 2.0 documentation collection and the
Integrated Lights Out Manager 2.0 Supplement for Sun Blade X6450 Server Module .
