7.1 ILOM Overview
Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) provides advanced service processor
(SP) hardware and software that you can use to manage and monitor your Exalogic
machine components, such as compute nodes, gateway switches, storage appliance,
and the InfiniBand switch. ILOM's dedicated hardware and software is preinstalled on
these components.
ILOM enables you to actively manage and monitor compute nodes in the Exalogic
machine independently of the operating system state, providing you with a reliable
Lights Out Management (LOM) system.
With ILOM, you can proactively:
• Learn about hardware errors and faults as they occur
• Remotely control the power state of your compute node
• View the graphical and non-graphical consoles for the host
• View the current status of sensors and indicators on the system
• Determine the hardware configuration of your system
• Receive generated alerts about system events in advance via IPMI PETs, SNMP
Traps, or E-mail Alerts.
The ILOM service processor (SP) runs its own embedded operating system and has a
dedicated Ethernet port, which together provide out-of-band management capability.
In addition, you can access ILOM from the compute node's operating system. Using
