No Operating System or Application Provisioning or Management
CIMC provisions servers, and as a result, exists below the operating system on a server. Therefore, you cannot
use it to provision or manage operating systems or applications on servers. For example, you cannot do the
following:
• Deploy an OS, such as Windows or Linux
• Deploy patches for software, such as an OS or an application
• Install base software components, such as anti-virus software, monitoring agents, or backup clients
• Install software applications, such as databases, application server software, or web servers
• Perform operator actions, including restarting an Oracle database, restarting printer queues, or handling
non-CIMC user accounts
• Configure or manage external storage on the SAN or NAS storage

the CIMC user interface and manage the server from any remote host that meets the following minimum
requirements:
• Java 1.6 or higher
