Note Changed to Caution Statement in the Sun Server X3-2 Installation Guide for Oracle VM

A note in the Sun Server X3-2 Oracle VM Installation Guide that is included on the Oracle System Assistant USB flash drive, which is embedded in the server, has been changed to a caution. The note is in step 6 of the section “Install Oracle VM Server Using Local or Remote Media.” The caution reads as follows:


Caution

Caution - In the Partitioning Type screen shown above, the Oracle SSM drive is the Oracle System Assistant USB flash drive. You might have to scroll to the bottom of the screen to see this drive. You should never select the Oracle SSM drive as the OS installation drive. Installing Oracle VM to the Oracle SSM drive will overwrite the Oracle System Assistant software and the Oracle System Assistant will have to be restored. For instructions for restoring Oracle System Assistant, see “Restore Oracle System Assistant” in the Sun Server X3-2 Administration Guide.
