AOM AND MOS

MOS is installed in an additional boot location that is automatically created when TMOS version 10 or 11 is installed. MOS, which runs in RAM, is used for disk and file system maintenance purposes such as; drive reformatting, volume mounting, system reimaging and file retrieval. MOS Also supports network access and file transfer.

 

MOS Is entered by interrupting the standard boot process via the serial console (by selecting TMOS maintenance at the GRUB boot menu) or booting from USB media.

 

 

The AOM is yet another hardware subsystem, this one allowing for ‘lights out’ power management of and console access to the HMS via the serial console or using SSH via the management network interface. AOM Is available on nearly all BIG-IP hardware platforms including the Enterprise Manager 4000 product, but not on VIPRION.
