You can perform the following tasks using Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant:
Note - The supported Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant installation and recovery tasks listed below are server-dependent and might vary.
Perform an assisted installation of a Linux or Windows operating system on your Sun x86 server from Oracle. Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant provides the appropriate drivers and platform-specific software, eliminating the need to create a separate driver disk.
Optionally create RAID-0 or RAID-1 volumes on internal storage devices.
Optionally upgrade your system's Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) service processor (SP), BIOS, and storage device firmware (regardless of the OS on your server).
Optionally update your Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant session with the latest firmware and drivers.
Optionally recover from a corrupt or inaccessible Oracle ILOM service processor.
