OS Installation Options

You can choose to install an OS on a single server or on multiple servers. The scope of this document is for single-server OS installations. The following table provides some information about these two installation options.

Option
Description
Multiple servers
Single server
Installs an OS to a single server using one of the following methods:
  • Locally: OS installation is performed locally at the server. Use this option if you have just completed the physical installation of the server in the rack. Additional hardware is required.

  • Remotely: OS installation is performed from a remote location. Uses the Oracle ILOM RemoteConsole application to access Oracle System Assistant or to perform a manual OS installation.


Note - Oracle System Assistant is the easiest method for local or remote single-server OS installations.
