LOM port
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The LOM port (Lights Out Management port) is a remote access facility. On a Sun server, when the main processor is switched off, or when it is impossible to telnet to the server, an operator would use a link to the LOM port to access the server. As long as the server has power, the LOM facility will work, regardless of whether or not the main processor is switched on.
To use the LOM port, a rollover cable is connected to the LOM port, which is located at the back of the Sun server. The other end of the cable is connected to a terminal or to a PC running a terminal emulator. The terminal or emulator must be set to a transmission rate of 9600 bits per second, and hardware flow control enabled.
