Set Up for Remote Installation

A remote OS installation is performed using the Oracle ILOM Remote Console application and a redirected CD/DVD drive or CD ISO image. The preferred procedure for a remote installation is to use Oracle System Assistant's assisted Install OS task. Use this procedure to set up for a remote Oracle System Assistant assisted installation or a remote manual (unassisted) installation.


Note - Using the CD-ROM or CD-ROM image option to install the OS significantly increases the time necessary to perform the installation as the content of the CD-ROM is accessed over the network. The installation duration depends on the network connectivity and traffic. This installation method also has a greater risk of issues due to transient network errors.
