TABLE 3-2 Embedded LOM Service Processor Components
Item Port Function
1
ELOM hardware
ELOM includes the following hardware components:
• An embedded 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 Ethernet Connection, and
serial management port/RJ-45 serial port.
2
ELOM 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 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 application 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.
Refer to the Sun Fire X4150 Server Product Notes and the Embedded Lights Out
Manager (ELOM) Administration Guide or the to the Sun Integrated Lights Out
Manager Users Guide for more information.
