The following tasks can be performed using OHIA:
Note - The available tasks are server-dependent and might vary.
Upgrade your system BIOS, Oracle ILOM service processor firmware to the latest version (regardless of the OS on your server).
Upgrade your HBA firmware to the latest version (regardless of the OS on your server).
Configure RAID-1 volumes if you have an LSI-based disk controller (1068e for SAS-1, or 2926x and 9280 for SAS-2).
Perform an assisted installation of a supported Windows or Linux operating system on your Oracle server. OHIA 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 OHIA wizard guides you through the installation.
Update your OHIA session with the latest firmware and drivers from Oracle.
