The following tasks can be performed using Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant:
Note - The available tasks are server-dependent and may vary.
Upgrade your system BIOS, ILOM service processor firmware to the latest version (regardless of the OS on your server).
Upgrade your HBA firmware to the latest version (regardless of the OS on your server).
Configure RAID-1 volumes if you have an LSI-based disk controller (1068e for SAS-1, or 2926x and 9280 for SAS-2).
Perform an assisted installation of a supported Windows or Linux operating system on your server. Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant installs appropriate drivers and platform-specific software, eliminating the need to create a separate driver disk. You provide the licensed OS distribution media (from CD or network image file) and the wizard guides you through the installation.
Update your Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant session with the latest firmware and drivers from Oracle.
