Oracle System Assistant - Oracle Sun Blade X4-2B Installation Manual

Oracle System Assistant

Oracle System Assistant is delivered on a USB storage device embedded in the system as an
integral part of your server and is ready to use as soon as you apply standby power. This
embedded storage device includes everything you need to start using the server with your
choice of supported operating system and hardware. You provide the operating system
installation media, and Oracle System Assistant provides everything else. The components of
Oracle System Assistant include:
User interface access to startup and maintenance provisioning tasks (including Install OS

Oracle System Assistant OS Installation Task
The Oracle System Assistant Install OS task helps you to install a supported LInux OS. You
supply the OS installation media, and Oracle System Assistant guides you through the
installation process. It then installs the appropriate drivers based on the server hardware
configuration.
You can access Oracle System Assistant locally or remotely. 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 starting up the server. Once the server is
operational, you can conveniently access Oracle System Assistant remotely while still retaining
full-featured functionality.
