Sun ALOM

Taken from Sun website...

The ALOM System Controller and ALOM firmware combine the features of RSC and LOM, as well as adding several new features. The ALOM System Controller hardware is embedded in the server. However, ALOM functions completely independently as a separate embedded computer. ALOM firmware is pre-installed by default and is active from the first moment that the system is plugged in.

ALOM 1.6 features include:

• Serial interface (CLI)
• 10 Mb Ethernet interface telnet CLI (10/100Base T for V215/V245/V445)
• Secure Ethernet interface (secure shell CLI)
• Host side interface/admin utility
• Host side monitoring (disks, fans, power, temp, PSU, FRUID, LED, hotplug devices)
• Host control (power, reset)
• Server watchdog XIR: (OS monitor/restart/XIR)
• Self watchdog/restart
• Enhanced events (ALOM events, host events, hotplug devices)
• Logging events to ALOM (including nvram and syslog)
• Logging host console stream output
• Multiple users
• User configurable delivery of events to ALOM CLI, email, and syslog
• Out-of-box functionality
• Optimized boot time
• Hardware environmental monitoring/management
