Single-Server Installation Methods
Select a method for providing the Linux installation media. Use the following information to
determine the local or remote OS installation that best serves your needs.
Media Delivery Method
Local assisted OS installation – Uses
Oracle System Assistant.
Remote assisted OS installation – Uses
Oracle System Assistant.
Local using a CD/DVD drive – Uses a
physical CD/DVD drive connected to
the server.
Remote using a CD/DVD drive or
CD/DVD ISO image – Uses a
redirected physical CD/DVD drive on a
remote system running the Oracle
ILOM Remote Console application.
Assisted OS Installation
This is the easiest method for installing a supported OS on the server. This method involves
using the Oracle System Assistant application. You deliver the Linux OS installation media on
either a local or remote CD/DVD drive, USB device, or CD/DVD image, and Oracle System
Assistant guides the installation process and installs the necessary drivers when necessary. The
server must support Oracle System Assistant, and it must be installed in the server.
Manual OS Installation
With this method, you deliver the Linux distribution media on either a local or remote
CD/DVD drive, USB device, or CD/DVD image. You also need to supply the necessary drivers.
The drivers for the server are available from the My Oracle Support site as OS-specific and
server-specific packages. To install the OS, use the distribution media's installation wizard.
