Browser and Software Requirements
The web-based interface has been tested successfully with recently released
Mozilla™ Firefox and Internet Explorer web browsers, and might be compatible
with other web browsers.
The ELOM product is preinstalled on the Sun server. However, you need Java™
software on the client to perform redirection as described in
Chapter 5 .
Users and Privileges
After you log in to the web-based interface, you can perform basic software tasks,
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) tasks, and system monitoring.
ELOM user accounts define what you can do by roles:
■ Administrator – Enables read/write access to all ELOM features, functions, and
commands.
■ Operator, User, and Callback – Enable limited access to ELOM features,
functions, and commands. For example, users with these permissions cannot
change their assigned roles or privileges.
For more information about users, including how to manage user accounts using the
web-based interface, see
Chapter 4 .
