Server Features

9

A logical domain is a discrete, logical grouping with its own operating system,
resources, and identity within a single computer system. Each logical domain can be
created, destroyed, reconfigured, and rebooted independently, without requiring a
power cycle of the server.

You can run a variety of applications software in different logical domains and keep
them independent for performance and security purposes.

Each logical domain can be managed as an entirely independent machine with its
own resources, such as:

Kernel, patches, and tuning parameters

User accounts and administrators

Network interfaces, MAC addresses, and IP addresses

Each logical domain can interact only with those server resources made available to
it, and the configuration is controlled using the Logical Domains Manger.

For more information on Logical Domains, refer to the Logical Domains (LDoms)
Administration Guide

Remote Manageability With ILOM

The Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) feature is a system controller, built into
the server, that enables you to remotely manage and administer the server.

The ILOM software is preinstalled as firmware, and initializes as soon as you apply
power to the system.

ILOM enables you to monitor and control your server over an Ethernet connection
(supports SSH), or by using a dedicated serial port for connection to a terminal or
terminal server. ILOM provides a command-line interface and a browser-based
interface that you can use to remotely administer geographically distributed or
physically inaccessible machines. In addition, ILOM enables you to run diagnostics
(such as POST) remotely that would otherwise require physical proximity to the
server’s serial port.

You can configure ILOM to send email alerts of hardware failures and warnings, and
other events related to the server. The ILOM circuitry runs independently of the
server, using the server’s standby power. Therefore, ILOM firmware and software
continue to function when the server operating system goes offline or when the
server is powered off. ILOM monitors the following SPARC Enterprise T5120 and
T5220 server conditions:

CPU temperature conditions

Hard drive status

Enclosure thermal conditions
