Goal

To provide a quick review to the ilomconfig tool

Solution

Starting from Solaris 11.2 , OHMP (Oracle Hardware Management Pack), is installed by default in the OS distribution

The tool can be used also in Solaris 10, but must be downloaded and installed

Open MOS
Go to Patches and Updates
Select product tab
In the Product Field type : "Oracle Hardware Management Pack"
Select Release and download.
Executables placed in dir: /usr/sbin

This software suite offers a set of tools used to manage daily system administration (system firmware upgrade, disk firmware upgrade, ilom configuration , hardware raid management) among other things.

This is the set of tools available from OHMP

ilomconfig - configures Oracle ILOM service processors
biosconfig - configures the server BIOS (can be used only in x64 servers)
raidconfig - lists/configures the server RAID components (disk events). raidconfig list all -v
fwupdate - updates the server and firmware
hwmgmtcli – provides reports about the health status of the server

To verify the supported servers that can be managed by this tool, you can see the following link
