To set up and use ALOM on your server with the latest technical information, please

Email Delivery Alerts

If you have alerts configured for email delivery, ALOM waits for the success or
failure confirmation from email delivery before sending the next alert. This affects
event alerts sent to the ALOM shell and to syslog. If mail alerts are incorrectly
configured, this could result in significant delays. These delays do not occur if email
alerts are not configured.
If you are experiencing delays in alerts, check to see that the values you entered for
the mgt_mailhost and mgt_mailalert configuration variables are correct. For
more information about configuration variables, refer to the ALOM online help.
Do not use the scadm resetrsc command
while upgrading firmware
If two users are running ALOM at the same time and one user issues the scadm
resetrsc command from Solaris while the other user is updating the ALOM
firmware using either the scadm download command or the ALOM shell
command flashupdate, the firmware could become corrupted and cause ALOM
1.0 to be unusable.
Do not issue the scadm resetrsc command until after the firmware update is
complete.
Do not issue the scadm resetrsc command immediately after the firmware
update has taken place.
