ILOM 3.0 Feature Set Overview

The Oracle ILOM 3.0 feature set provides common ILOM functionality that applies to all Oracle Sun Blade Modular Systems, server modules (blades), and rackmount servers. These features are built into the ILOM 3.0.x firmware that is installed on the server service processor (SP) and, if applicable, on the chassis monitoring module (CMM).

Note - CMMs are applicable to Oracle Sun Blade Modular Systems. CMMs are not applicable to Oracle rackmount servers.

### Server-Specific ILOM Features

The ILOM 3.0.x SP firmware operates on many Oracle server platforms, supporting features that are common to all platforms, as well as other features that are specific to an Oracle server. For additional information about the ILOM 3.0.x features that are supported specifically for your server, see the ILOM Supplement guide or Administration guide that is provided for your server.

### CMM-Specific Features

The ILOM 3.0 firmware on the chassis monitoring module (CMM) is configured with an individual IP address assigned either statically or dynamically using DHCP. The CMM acts as a conduit to the server module ILOM configuration, enabling settings such as network addresses and administrative user accounts to be configured or viewed.

In addition, the CMM supports HTTP and CLI "pass-through" interfaces that provide access to all chassis features through a direct serial port connection or a 10/100/1000-BASE-T network management port connection on the CMM.

#### CMM Chassis-Level Management

ILOM on the CMM offers a tiered management architecture that enables system management of individual components or aggregated management of components at the chassis level.

A summary of the CMM’s management functions include:

- Implementation of an IPMI satellite controller, making the chassis environmental sensors visible to the server module’s BMC functions

- Direct environmental and inventory management using CLI, web, SNMP, and IPMI interfaces

- Firmware management of CMM, network express module (NEM), and server module SPs

- Pass-through management of server modules and HTTP links along with CLI SSH contexts

- Chassis power control

- Access to the following components:

- Chassis

- Power supplies

- Fans

- Network express modules (NEMs)

- Server module SPs

Related ILOM 3.0 Documentation

This guide describes new features and issues that are part of a new ILOM 3.0.x release. Each chapter in this guide provides cross-references to the documents in the ILOM 3.0 Documentation Collection in which the ILOM features associated with new ILOM firmware updates are described in detail.

To fully understand the information that is presented in this guide, use this document in conjunction with the documents listed in Related Documentation. These documents are available online at:

`http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/int.lights.mgr30#hic`

First read the ILOM 3.0 Concepts Guide to learn about ILOM’s features and functionality. To set up a new system supported by ILOM, refer to the ILOM 3.0 Getting Started Guide, where you will find the procedures for connecting to the network, logging in to ILOM for the first time, and configuring a user account or directory service. Then, decide which ILOM interface you want to use to perform other ILOM tasks. You can now refer to the appropriate ILOM 3.0 Procedures Guide for your selected interface.

For platform-specific ILOM updates, refer to your ILOM Supplement guide or Administration guide, which presents ILOM features and tasks that are specific to the server platform you are using. The ILOM Supplement guide or Administration guide is part of the documentation set for your server.
