Managing an Oracle SPARC Server via Integrated Lights Out Manager

Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is a crucial component for managing an Oracle SPARC server. ILOM provides hardware and software for server management in case of operating system failure or for remote server access. This article will cover the basic commands for working with ILOM on an Oracle SPARC server.

Connecting to ILOM

To connect to ILOM, use SSH or the web interface. To connect via SSH, execute the command:

ssh -l root <ILOM address>

To access the web interface, enter the ILOM address in your browser’s address bar.

Basic ILOM Commands

  • show /SP/sensors — displays server sensor information
  • show /SP/logs/event/list — displays a list of server events
  • show /SP/firmware — displays server firmware information
  • reset /SP — restarts ILOM
  • start /SP/console — starts the server console

This is just a small subset of the commands available in ILOM. Detailed command information can be found in the Oracle SPARC documentation.
