Embedded Lights Out Manager (ELOM)

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 lowpower situations. The Sun Fire X4150 and X4450 Servers are shipped with installede ELOM.

The 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 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.

ELOM Common Tasks
- Redirect the system graphical console to a remote client web browser.
- Connect a remote diskette drive to the system as a virtual diskette drive.
  (Web based interface only)
- Connect a remote CD-ROM drive to the system as a virtual CD-ROM drive.
  (Web based interface only)
- Monitor system fans, temperatures, and voltages remotely.
