## Managing Your Server

You have several different options for managing your server depending on your situation.

- Managing many servers

  Your server can be managed with a wide variety of system management tools, created both by Sun and by third parties. For more information on the system management tools, see the Sun Tools information at:

  http://www.sun.com/systemmanagement/managementtools.jsp

  Here is a subset of some of these tools:

  - If your server is one of many Oracle x86 and SPARC servers that you want to manage from a single interface, you can use the Oracle Enterprise xVM Ops Center. For more details, see:

    http://www.oracle.com/us/products/enterprise-manager/opscenter/index.html

  - If you already have third-party system management tools, Oracle servers can integrate with many third-party tools. For more details, see:

- Managing a single server

  - Sun Installation Assistant (SIA) is an application that you can use for initial server configuration. SIA helps you to update firmware (ILOM firmware, BIOS, and RAID controller software) and to automate installation of Linux and Windows operating systems. For more details, refer to the documentation for your version of SIA: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/install.x64svr.

  - The Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is built-in software and hardware that you can use to monitor the status and configuration of your server. For more information, see the following section:
