The Oracle ILOM CLI is an alternative and equivalent way to access the Oracle ILOM BUI
features and functionality. Because the operating systems that run on the Oracle server hardware
support assistive technologies to read the content of the screen, you can use the CLI as an
equivalent means to access the color-based, mouse-based, and other visual-based utilities that
are part of the BUI. For example, you can use a keyboard to enter CLI commands to identify
faulted hardware components, check system status, and monitor system health.
You can use the Oracle ILOM Remote Console Plus to access both a text-based serial console
and a graphics-based video console that enable you to remotely redirect host server system
keyboard, video, mouse, and storage devices. Note, however, that the Oracle ILOM Java
Remote Console Plus does not support scaling of the video frame within the Java application.
You need to use assistive technology to enlarge or reduce the content in the Java Remote
Console Plus display.
As an alternative method to using the BIOS Setup Utility to configure BIOS settings,
Oracle ILOM provides a set of configurable properties that can help you manage the BIOS
configuration parameters on an Oracle x86 server. Using Oracle ILOM, you can do the
following:
■
Back up a copy of the BIOS configuration parameters to an XML file using the Oracle
ILOM BUI.
■
Edit the XML file using a standard XML editor. The BIOS XML tags correlate directly to
the BIOS screen labels.
■
Restore the XML file of the backed up or edited configuration parameters to BIOS.
The BUI and CLI methods for using Oracle ILOM are described in the accessible HTML
documentation for Oracle ILOM at
http://www.oracle.com/goto/ilom/docs
.
BIOS Accessibility
When viewing BIOS output from a terminal using the serial console redirection feature, some
terminals do not support function key input. However, BIOS supports the mapping of function
keys to Control key sequences when serial redirection is enabled. Descriptions of the function
key to Control key sequence mappings are provided in the product documentation, typically
within the server Service Manual. You can navigate the BIOS Setup Utility by using either a
mouse or keyboard commands.
As an alternative method of configuring BIOS settings using the BIOS Setup Utility screens,
Oracle ILOM provides a set of configurable properties that can help you manage the BIOS
