Integrated Lights Out Management - Practical Oracle Database Appliance - page 15

The Summary screen shown in Figure 2-1 is rich in information and allows you to get a lot of information
summarized quickly. The menu section on the left allows getting more detailed information on each of the
components. The menu also includes options for setup and customization of the ILOM
Figure 2-2 shows the summary screen from the original Database Appliance. As you can see, the new interface
in Figure 2-1 provides a much easier way to find information, and the menu navigation is much more intuitive.
As we go through the features in the sections to follow, we will point how to get to various locations from both ILOMs.

ILOM Features
The ILOM is capable of providing a vast array of services. Looking at the ILOM and all its features are beyond
the scope of this topic, but we will look at a few of the important features that are needed from the perspective of
managing an ODA.
Remote KVMS Service
The Remote KVMS (Keyboard, Video, Mouse ,Storage is a very important part of the ILOM and is probably what you
will use based on your familiarity and experience with remote access to the appliance. The Remote KVMS service
allows you to remotely control a server node from a browser. The Remote KVMS uses Virtual Network Computing
(VNC) to access the server nodes. Thus you should be sure to open the firewall ports shown in Table 2-1 on your
workstation.
