Your Sun Blade X3-2B supports Oracle System Assistant, and, unless you have opted out, it is preinstalled in the server. If Oracle System Assistant is not visible from the file system, or if you are unable to launch it, it could be offline, corrupted, or not installed.
Use this procedure to determine the state of Oracle System Assistant and to verify that it is installed in your server.
Before You Begin
This procedure is performed locally. Physical access to the server is required.
To launch Oracle System Assistant, boot the server as described in the procedure, Access Oracle System Assistant Locally.
Use the following flowchart and information to guide your troubleshooting effort:
If the Oracle System Assistant F9 prompt does not appear, continue to step 3 to check BIOS.
If Oracle System Assistant F9 prompt appears, but Oracle System Assistant does not launch after pressing the F9 key, recover the Oracle System Assistant software and try again from step 1. To recover the software, see Recover Oracle System Assistant Software.
Oracle System Assistant launches if it is installed in the server, it is enabled in the BIOS Setup Utility, and it is not corrupted.
If the device is disabled, enable it and try again from step 1. To enable the USB drive, see Enable (or Disable) Oracle System Assistant Using the BIOS Setup Utility. Oracle System Assistant launches if it is installed in the server, it is enabled in the BIOS Setup Utility, and it is not corrupted.
If the device is not disabled or not visible in the BIOS Setup Utility, go to the next step to perform a physical check of the server.
This step requires that you remove the server module from the chassis and check that the internal USB port contains the Oracle System Assistant USB drive. For information about the location of the internal USB ports for your server, refer to Servicing USB Flash Drives (CRU) in Sun Blade X3-2B (formerly Sun Blade X6270 M3) Service Manual.
If the device is present, the Oracle System Assistant software might be corrupted, and it might need to be recovered. Recover the Oracle System Assistant software and try again from step 1. To recover the software, see Recover Oracle System Assistant Software. Oracle System Assistant launches if it is installed in the server, it is enabled in the BIOS Setup Utility, and it is not corrupted.
If the device is not present, contact Oracle support.
