Assisted OS Installation

This is the easiest method for installing a supported OS on the server. This method involves using the Oracle System Assistant application. You deliver the Linux OS installation media on either a local or remote CD/DVD drive, USB device, or CD/DVD image, and Oracle System Assistant guides the installation process and installs the necessary drivers when necessary. The server must support Oracle System Assistant, and it must be installed in the server.
