The following tasks can be performed using SIA:
Note - The available tasks are server-dependent and may vary.
Upgrade your system BIOS, ILOM service processor firmware, and installed storage device firmware to the latest version (regardless of the OS on your server).
Perform an assisted installation of a supported Linux operating system. SIA installs appropriate drivers and platform-specific software, eliminating the need to create a separate driver disk. You provide the licensed OS distribution media (from CD or network image file) and the SIA wizard guides you through the installation.
Note - As of the release of this document, SIA can not be used to install Windows Server 2008 R2. You will need to perform a manual installation of Windows as described in this document.
Update your SIA session with the latest firmware and drivers from Sun.
