Infoblox LOM (Lights Out Management) is an implementation of the remote management and monitoring of Infoblox appliances that are LOM ready, such as the Trinzic 1410 and 2010 appliances.
The LOM feature is useful when you want to monitor your platforms remotely or consolidate your data centers. When you monitor your systems remotely, you can avoid issues such as overheating of a problematic system by remotely powering down the system. To conserve energy, you can also power up and down any systems based on service requirements.
You can enable LOM for the entire Grid and override the Grid settings for specific members. You can also configure LOM on independent appliances and HA pairs.
