Managing Your Server
You have several different options for managing your server, depending on your situation.
■
Managing a single server
■
The Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is built-in software and hardware that you
can use to monitor the status and configuration of your server. For more information,
see
“ILOM Software Overview” on page 104 .
■
Oracle Hardware Assistant is an application that you can use for initial server
configuration. Oracle Hardware Assistant helps you to update firmware (ILOM
firmware, BIOS, and RAID controller software) and to automate installation of Linux
and Windows operating systems. For more details, refer to your Oracle Hardware
Assistant collection.
■
Managing many servers
Your server can be managed with a wide variety of system management tools, created both
by Oracle and by third parties. For more information about the system management tools,

Here is a sampling of some of these tools:
■
If your server is one of many Sun x86 and SPARC servers that you want to manage from
a single interface, you can use the Oracle Enterprise Manager Op Center. For more
