Management Agents
The Oracle Server Hardware Management Agent (Hardware Management Agent) and
associated Oracle Server Hardware SNMP Plugins (Hardware SNMP Plugins) enable you to
monitor and manage your server from the operating system (OS).
This in-band functionality enables you to use a single IP address (the host's IP) for monitoring
your servers without having to connect the management port of the Oracle Integrated Lights
Out Manager (ILOM) SP to the network.

Accessing the BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility enables you to configure the system by interrupting the boot process.
The utility is part of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) embedded on the server,
and does not need to be installed. For a detailed description of the BIOS Setup Utility screens,
see the server service manual.
You can access the BIOS Setup Utility locally by connecting a monitor to the server or remotely
by launching a remote console session from Oracle ILOM. To get started, see the following
