Sun Fire X4150 server ELOM Features

The ELOM provides a dedicated system of hardware and supporting software that
enables you to manage your server independent of an operating system, and in low-
power situations. ELOM is composed of four components:

■

Web-based interface (requires JavaR v5 or later)

■

Command-line Interface (accessed via serial or ethernet using ssh)

■

IPMI v2

■

SNMP v3

You can access the ELOM using a web browser, secure shell (SSH), or via the Sun
Fire X4150 server’s serial port. Your server’s default network setting is configured as
DHCP for easy access via a web browser or SSH, and the ELOM output is directed
by default to the serial port.
