ALOM System Controller enables you to remotely manage and administer a server. It comes preinstalled on the machine, so as soon you plug in power cable, it works. Yes, it uses server's standby power, which enables you to remotely power off and on server (very useful when someone schedule power outage in remote office and you want gracefully to bring server down and after outage power it on). ALOM monitors hardware in the server, like CPU, RAM, Power supply, etc, and much more like Voltage and status of alarms. Of course, all this exercise assumes you configured ALOM's network parameters. Try to have dedicated management subnet for this. If you access ALOM and stay idle for 1 minute, it will switch to serial console. Or you can type console and reach serial console of remote system from your cube or home living room. sc> console To go back to ALOM type #. (pound and dot)This can be changed (if you really want) from ALOM with sc> setsc sc_escapechars ## (for example)
