TABLE 3-1 Embedded LOM Service Processor Components
Item Port Function
1 Embedded LOM
hardware ELOM includes the following hardware components:
• An embedded service processor (SP) chipset. The service processor monitors
the status and configuration of field-replaceable components inside your
server, such as fans, disk drives, and power supplies.
• Two back panel external connections: NET MGT PORT Ethernet Connection,
and serial management port/RJ-45 serial port.
2 Embedded LOM
firmware Several system management firmware applications are preinstalled on the SP
chipset. These operating system-independent firmware applications provide
the following system management interfaces into your server:
• Web-based graphical interface
• Secure Shell (SSH) command-line interface
• IPMI v2.0 command-line interface (CLI)
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v3 interface
These interfaces call the same underlying system management functions on
your SP. You can work with one or more of these interfaces to integrate with
other management interfaces running in your data center.
3 Remote Console
application The Remote Console application allows remote clients to view the graphical
console of your host server as though they were directly attached to its video
connector. The Remote Console mirrors the video display from the server VGA
device (up to 1280 x 1024 resolution) locally on the remote management system.
The remote keyboard, mouse, CD drive, or diskette drive appear as standard
USB devices.
The Remote Console depends on the following requirements to run correctly.
Client systems require a web browser (at least IE6, Mozilla, or Firefox) with Sun
Java™ runtime environment (at least version 1.6 plug-ins) correctly installed.
Java is available for free download at http://java.sun.com.
4 Client-side
Secure Shell
application You must install a Secure Shell communications application on the remote
client system (server, workstation, or laptop) to access the Embedded LOM
through a remote Secure Shell (SSH).
Many Secure Shell communications applications are available from commercial
or open-source distribution. Refer to http://www.openssh.org for
information about open-source client-side SSH applications.
5 Serial Redirection You can set the serial redirection to display system output or Embedded LOM
output. A console can also be started to display system output. By default, the
Embedded LOM output appears. The BIOS contains these serial redirection
options. See the Sun Fire X4150 Server Product Notes and the Embedded Lights
Out Manager (ELOM) Administration Guide for more information.
