ILOM consists of four components, three of which are on your host server and one
that is on the client system that accesses your host server. The four components are
as follows:
■
ILOM SP hardware.
Your server is equipped with a service processor that
performs the following functions:
■
Monitors the status and configuration of field-replaceable components of your
server, such as fans, disk drives, and power supplies.
■
Provides serial and Ethernet connections to external terminals or local area
networks (LANs).
■
ILOM SP firmware.
A library of system management firmware applications that
is preinstalled on the SP. This ILOM firmware is operating system independent.
These firmware applications provide the following system management interfaces
into your server:
■
A web-based graphical interface
■
A Secure Shell (SSH) command-line interface
■
An IPMI v2.0 command interface
■
A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v1, v2c, or v3 interface
These interfaces call the same underlying system management functions on your
service processor, so you can choose to work with one or more of these ILOM
interfaces to integrate with the other management interfaces running in your data
center.
■
Remote Console application.
The Remote Console application enables remote
clients to view the graphical console of your host server as though they were
directly attached to its video connector. The Remote Console is a mirror of the
1024x768 output from the server’s VGA video connector. The remote keyboard,
mouse, CD drive, or diskette drive will appear as standard USB devices.
