Launch the x86 Oracle System
Assistant
Oracle System Assistant is a tool that offers
features for provisioning servers, including operating system installation,
firmware updates, RAID configuration, and more. For additional information
about these features, refer to the administration guide for your
x86 server.
Before You Begin
The Launch option for Oracle System Assistant appears in Oracle ILOM only when Oracle System Assistant is present on the host x86 server.
Power off the host operating system on the host
server. If you do not power off the host OS prior to performing
this procedure, Oracle ILOM will prompt you to power off the host
before launching the Oracle System Assistant.
When launching Oracle System Assistant, you will
be prompted to launch a new remote console session. Therefore, prior
to launching Oracle System Assistant, ensure that the setup requirements
for launching and using the graphical remote console (JDK version,
browser Java plug-in, and KVMS settings) are met. For more information
about these requirements, see Launch the Remote Console From the Actions Panel (Web).
The Admin (a) role is required
in Oracle ILOM to launch Oracle System Assistant. The Console (c)
role is required to launch the remote console.
This procedure provides both web and CLI instructions.
- To
launch Oracle System Assistant, perform one of the following Oracle
ILOM interface procedures:
|
|
Web |
In
the Actions panel, which is located in the System Information >
Summary page, click the Launch button for Oracle System Assistant.
One or more of the following prompts appear:
Power off host prompt:
This prompt appears only if the host server was not powered-off
prior to performing this procedure. Click OK to power-off the host
server.
Launch a new remote console prompt:
This prompt appears prior to launching the remote console.
Note - You might encounter the following behavior: 1) an alert
message appears stating “cannot get power state” and
2) a powered-off state is shown for Power in the Actions panel.
If you encounter this behavior, it is because Oracle ILOM is temporarily
unable to obtain the host server information. In this situation, click
OK in the alert message to continue launching Oracle System Assistant. When
you return to the Summary page, click Refresh to update the host
power state shown in the Actions panel. Oracle ILOM launches Oracle System Assistant in the Oracle
ILOM Remote System Console (Plus) window.
Refer to the x86 server administration guide for instructions
for using the Oracle System Assistant. |

In
the Oracle ILOM CLI, type:
start /HOST/provisioning/system-assistant
The following prompt appears:
Are you sure that you want to start /HOST/provisioning/system-assistant (y/n)? Type y to launch Oracle System
Assistant (or type n to cancel the operation).
Oracle ILOM launches Oracle System Assistant.
