How to Install Service Tags in Linux
Oracle's Sun Service Tags enable automatic discovery of Oracle systems, software, and services (gear). A service tag uniquely identifies each tagged piece of gear, and allows static information about the gear to be shared over a local network in a standard XML format. You can leverage this discovery capability and use it as an administrative tool for managing distributed inventory.
Some of the benefits of Sun Service Tags include:
A small footprint (about 100 kilobytes).
Configurable for discovery per gear.
Can be used by the system administrator to register new equipment with Oracle.
Can be used by Oracle service (with the system administrator's permission) to aid in troubleshooting.
Runs only when queried (does not run in the background).
Additionally, Sun Service Tags do not contain personal information and do not automatically collect or send any information to Oracle. The service tag information you share with Oracle is used solely to identify Sun gear and better support Oracle customers. Registration data is only collected when the system administrator requests gear discovery.
Sun Service Tags are copied to the system when you perform an assisted OS installation using the Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant application. However, they are not installed. Oracle recommends the installation of Sun Service Tags to register and help keep track of your Sun gear.
To install Sun Service Tags, follow the instructions that apply to your server's OS:
