OS Installation Options

You can choose to install an OS on a single server or on multiple servers. The scope of this document is for single-server OS installations. The following table provides information about these two installation options.

Option
Description
Multiple servers
Single server
Install an OS to a single server using one of the following methods:
  • Locally: OS installation is performed locally at the server. This option is convenient if you have just completed the physical installation of the server in the rack. You can use Oracle System Assistant, or perform the installation manually. Additional hardware is required.

  • Remotely: OS installation is performed from a remote location. Uses the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) Remote Console application to access Oracle System Assistant or to perform a manual OS installation.


Note - Use Oracle System Assistant for local or remote single server OS installations.
