ILOM Software
ILOM is an IPMI 2.0-compliant Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) that implements Lights Out
Management (LOM), including “Remote Keyboard, Video, Mouse, and Storage” (KVMS), a Web management
interface, a command line interface (CLI), and SNMP. ILOM software includes the following:
• Embedded, hardened Linux OS
• IPMI 2.0 BMC
• Platform Control agents diagnostics software
• RKVMS
The ILOM and BIOS firmware are easily upgraded using a single 11 MB file to upgrade both. The firmware
upgrade can be performed either by command line interface or Web interface.
