Sun™ Advanced Lights-Out Manager
1.0 (ALOM)
Both the Sun Fire V210 server and the Sun Fire V240 server are shipped with Sun™
Advanced Lights Out Manager (ALOM) 1.0 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 Ethernet connection (using the NET
MGT port). For information on configuring an Ethernet connection, refer to the
ALOM Online Help.
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.
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.
ALOM firmware and software continue to be effective when the server operating
system goes offline.
