Using the Sun Advanced Lights Out
Manager Software
The Sun Fire V210 and V240 servers ship with the Sun Advanced Lights Out
Manager (ALOM) software installed. The system console is directed to ALOM by
default and is configured to show server console information on startup.
ALOM enables you to monitor and control your server over either a serial
connection (using the SERIAL MGT port) or an Ethernet connection (using the NET
MGT port).
Note – The ALOM serial port, labelled SERIAL MGT, is for server management
only. If you need a general purpose serial port, use the serial port labeled 10101.
ALOM can be configured to send email notification of hardware failures and other
events related to the server or to ALOM.
