Oracle System Assistant Overview
The drivers for your server are available on the server's internal Oracle System Assistant
flash drive (if installed) and from the My Oracle Support web site as either OS-specific and
server-specific packages or as an ISO image file. To install the OS, use the distribution media's
installation wizard.
Windows Deployment Services OS Installation
You can install the Windows OS from a deployment server environment. For the advanced
user, you can create a customized Windows Imaging Format (WIM) image for your server on
a system running Windows Deployment Services (WDS). Once this installation image file has
been created, you can boot your server from its network card and select the image from the
WDS system for unattended deployment. For more information about WDS, go to:
technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831620.
Oracle System Assistant Overview
Oracle System Assistant is a single-server system management tool for Oracle x86 servers.
Oracle System Assistant integrates Oracle system management products, and a selection of
related software to provide a suite of tools that allow for the quick and convenient configuration
and maintenance of your server.
You can access Oracle System Assistant locally, using a local console connection, or remotely,
using the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus application.
If you just completed the installation of the server, then using Oracle System Assistant locally
(while physically present at the server) can be a fast and efficient method of configuring the
server. Once the server is operational, you can conveniently access Oracle System Assistant
remotely while still retaining full-featured functionally.
