This chapter introduces the basic information you need to know before you perform procedures using the ILOM web interface.

##

About the Web Interface

The ILOM web interface is accessible through a browser and uses a standard interface. The ILOM web interface enables you to monitor and manage local and remote systems. One of the most powerful features of ILOM is the ability to redirect the server's graphical console to a local workstation or laptop system. When you redirect the host console, you can configure the local system's keyboard and mouse to act as the server's keyboard and mouse. You can also configure the diskette drive or CD-ROM drive on the remote system as a device virtually connected to your Oracle Sun system. You can access these features using the ILOM Remote Console application.

##

Browser and Software Requirements

The web interface has been tested successfully with recently released Mozilla, Firefox, and Internet Explorer web browsers, and may be compatible with other web browsers.

ILOM supports the browsers listed in the following table.

TABLE 1-1 Supported Web Browsers
Operating System | Web Browser
--- | ---
Oracle Solaris (9 and 10) | Mozilla 1.4 and 1.7 Firefox 1.x and above
Linux (Red Hat, SuSE, Ubuntu, Oracle) | Mozilla 1.x and above Firefox 1.x and above Opera 6.x and above
Microsoft Windows (98, 2000, XP, Vista) | Internet Explorer 5.5, 6.x, 7.x Mozilla 1.x and above Firefox 1.x and above Opera 6.x and above
Macintosh (OSX v10.1 and above) | Internet Explorer 5.2 Mozilla 1.x and above Firefox 1.x and above Safari - all

Note - ILOM comes preinstalled on your Sun system and includes the Remote Console application. To run the ILOM Remote Console, you must have the Java 1.5 runtime environment (JRE 1.5) or later version of the JRE software installed on your local client. To download the JRE software, go to `http://java.com`. See Chapter 12 for a list of web browsers and operating systems supported by the Remote Console application.

##

Network Addresses Accepted by ILOM

As of ILOM 3.0.12 or later, the following network addresses are accepted by ILOM.

Note - When entering an IPv6 address or Link Local IPv6 address, the address must be enclosed within brackets to work correctly.

- IPv4 address. `10.8.183.106`

- IPv6 address. `[fec0:a:8:b7:214:4fff:5eca:5f7e/64]`

- Link Local IPv6 address. `[e80::214:4fff:feca:5f7e/64]`

- DNS host domain address. `company.com`

For additional information about dual-stack network configurations, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Concepts Guide (820-6410). For help with diagnosing IPv4 and IPv6 connection issues, see Diagnosing IPv4 or IPv6 ILOM Connection Issues.

### Entering an IPv6 Address into a URL or Directory Path

When entering an IPv6 address into a URL or directory path, the address must be enclosed within brackets to work correctly.

- To transfer a file, type:

`load -source tftp://[fec0:a:8:b7:214:rfff:fe01:851d]desktop.pkg`

- To enter a URL, type

`https://[fe80::221:28ff:fe77:1402]`

For additional information about entering IPv6 addresses, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Concepts Guide (820-6410). For help with diagnosing IPv4 and IPv6 connection issues, see Diagnosing IPv4 or IPv6 ILOM Connection Issues.

CMM and Server SP Web Interface Connection

To establish a web interface connection to ILOM on the CMM or server SP, specify the IP address of the CMM or server SP in the web browser. A welcome page appears prompting you to enter a user name and password.

ILOM web interface login page

### Server SP Web Interface Components

The main ILOM web page for the server SP organizes the settings you can view or configure for that server within the tabs appearing at the top of the page, as shown in the following example. For a description of the CMM ILOM web interface, see CMM ILOM Web Interface.

Note - The ILOM web interface navigation tabs differ slightly depending on the ILOM features implemented on a specific platform and on the ILOM version currently installed on your system. Therefore, you might have access to different tabs than those described in this section. For information about the ILOM interface for your system, refer to your ILOM Supplement or Platform Administration guide.

FIGURE 1-1 ILOM Web Interface Main Page

Each web interface page has three main sections: the masthead, the navigation tabs, and the content area.

The masthead provides the following buttons and information on each page of the web interface:

- About button - Click to view product and copyright information.

- User field - Displays the user name of the current user of the web interface and the user’s role.

- Server field - Displays the host name of the ILOM SP or CMM.

- Refresh button - Click to refresh the information in the content area of the page. The Refresh button does not save new data that you may have entered or selected on the page.

- Log Out button - Click to end the current session of the web interface.

Note - Use the Refresh and Log Out buttons that are part of the ILOM web interface. Do not use the Refresh or Log Out button on your web browser when you are using the web interface.

The ILOM web interface navigation structure includes tabs and second-level tabs that you can click to open a specific page. When you click the main tab, second-level tabs are displayed, providing you with further options. The content area is where you find information about the specific topic or operation.

### CMM ILOM Web Interface

The ILOM web page for the CMM includes:

- The Navigation pane on the left side of the screen that lists visible entries only for components that are present and manageable in the chassis.

- A Chassis view and inventory table appear on the right side of the screen when the Chassis entry in the navigation pane is selected. The Chassis view displays the front and rear view of the chassis. The Chassis Inventory table provides information about the manageable chassis components present in the chassis.

- The CMM management settings appear in the right side of the screen when a CMM entry is selected in the navigation pane. The settings you can view or configure for the CMM are organized in the eight tabs appearing at the top of the page, as shown in the following example.

Note - For details about the CMM Storage -> Zoning Management features available in ILOM as 3.0.10, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 CMM Administration Guide For Sun Blade 6000 and Sun Blade 6048 Modular Systems (820-0052)

- The Blade management settings appear in the right side of the screen when a blade entry in the navigation pane is selected. If you are managing a blade with multiple Service Processors (SPs), an Node entry for each dedicated SP appears in the navigation pane, as shown in the following example.

The settings you can view or configure for an individual blade SP are organized in the seven tabs appearing in the right side of the ILOM Web Interface page, as shown in the previous example.

For more information about the tabs described in this section, see Navigation Tabs.

Navigation Tabs

The following table describes the various tabs and sub-tabs that you can use to access the most common ILOM functions using the web interface. For more detail about how to use the features and functions on the web pages that appear when you select a tab, see the related chapters in this guide.

Note - The ILOM web interface navigation tabs differ slightly depending on the ILOM features implemented on a specific platform and on the ILOM version currently installed on your system. Therefore, you might have access to different tabs than those described in the following table.
