Sun Advanced Lights Out Manager

Both the Sun Fire V210 server and the Sun Fire V240 server are shipped with Sun™
Advanced Lights Out Manager (ALOM) pre-installed.
ALOM enables you to monitor and control your server through a serial connection
(using the SERIAL MGT port), or Ethernet connection (using the NET MGT port).
ALOM can send email notification of hardware failures or other server events.
The ALOM circuitry uses standby power from the server. This means that:
ALOM is active as soon as the server is connected to a power source, and until
■
power is removed by unplugging the power cable.
