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 table below provides some information about these two installation options.

Option
Description
Multiple servers
Single server
Installs an OS to a single server using one of the following methods:
  • Locally: OS installation is performed locally at the server. This option is recommended if you have just completed the physical installation of the server in the rack. Additional hardware is required.

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