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.

...

1. Enable LOM for the Grid or members that support IPMI, as described in Enabling LOM.

2. Add LOM users based on your organizational needs, as described in Adding LOM User Accounts.

3. Configure the IPMI network interface on the appliance, as described in Configuring the IPMI Network Interface.

4. After you have configured LOM and set up the IPMI interface, install a utility such as IPMItool on your Linux management system. For information about IPMItool, visit the IPMItool web site at http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net. For the most commonly used commands and examples, see IPMI Commands and Examples.

1. Grid: From the Grid tab, select the Grid Manager tab, expand the Toolbar and click Grid Properties -> Edit.
   Independent appliance: From the System tab, select the System Manager tab, expand the Toolbar and click System Properties -> Edit.
   Member: From the Grid tab, select the Grid Manager tab -> Members tab -> Grid_member checkbox, and then click the Edit icon.
   To override an inherited property, click Override next to it and complete the appropriate fields.

2. On the LOM tab, select Enable Lights Out Management to enable LOM. It is disabled by default.
   When LOM is enabled or disabled for the Grid, all members inherit the same setting.

3. Save the configuration.

Adding LOM User Accounts

You can add up to eight LOM user accounts. Admins must use the configured user name and password to remotely log in to the appliance.
Note that when you add LOM user accounts at the Grid level, all members inherit them. You can configure user accounts specific to a member by overriding the Grid accounts. When you click Override to modify the inherited Grid accounts, the appliance creates copies of the Grid level user accounts and saves them at the member level. These are new accounts at the member level and do not affect the Grid accounts or any accounts configured on other Grid members. You can also reset member accounts to the Grid accounts by clicking Inherit. When you do that however, all changes you previously made to the member accounts are lost.
To add a LOM user account:

1. Grid: From the Grid tab, select the Grid Manager tab, expand the Toolbar and click Grid Properties -> Edit.
   Independent appliance: From the System tab, select the System Manager tab, expand the Toolbar and click System Properties -> Edit.
   Member: From the Grid tab, select the Grid Manager tab -> Members tab -> Grid_member checkbox, and then click the Edit icon.
   To override an inherited property, click Override next to it and complete the appropriate fields.

2. In the LOM tab, complete the following:

   • User Accounts: Click the Add icon and complete the following:

     • Name: Enter the name of the LOM user account.

     • Password: Enter the password for the LOM user account. Note that while the maximum length allowed for the password is 15 characters and the minimum length is 4 characters. If you are running NIOS on the IB-4000, IB-4010, IB-4030, IB-4020, or the ND-4000 platform, you must enter a minimum password length of 8 characters. Otherwise, an error message is displayed.

     • Confirm Password: Enter the password again. 

     • Role: From the drop-down list, select the role for the LOM user account. Operator allows users to perform all supported LOM related functions. User allows admins to only monitor system sensors such as temperature and CPU usage.

   • Disable: Select this to deactivate the user account but keep a user profile.

   • Click Add to add the new user account.

3. Save the configuration.
