Managing Your Sun Blade T6320 Server
Module With ILOM
Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is system management firmware you
can use to monitor, manage, and configure the Sun Blade T6320 server module. The
ILOM firmware is preinstalled on the service processor (SP) of the Sun Blade T6320
server module and initializes as soon as you apply power to the system. You can
access ILOM through several interfaces, such as web browsers, a command-line
interface (CLI), an SNMP interface, and an Intelligent Platform Management
Interface (IPMI). ILOM will continue to run regardless of the state of the host
operating system, making it a “lights-out” management system.
For information about configuring and using ILOM, refer to the ILOM
documentation described in
“Related Documentation” on page viii .
Service Processors
A service processor (SP) is a board that operates independently of the other hardware
in the system. It has its own Internet Protocol (IP) address and media access control
(MAC) address and is capable of operating regardless of the state of the other system
hardware. In a Sun Blade server module, the SP can operate whether the server
module is fully operational, powered down, or somewhere in between. The Sun
Blade modular system and every server module in the modular system has its own
SP. On some server modules, the service processor is called a
system controller .
