Download Firmware and Software Using My Oracle Support
If the Oracle System Assistant software has been overwritten, erased, or corrupted, you can download the recovery (updater) ISO image file that is available from the My Oracle Support (MOS) site to recover Oracle System Assistant to the USB device. Additionally, if your server does not have online access and cannot use the Get Updates task to access the MOS site, you can use the recovery file to update Oracle System Assistant to the latest version.
Note - The recover image is not intended for an initial installation of Oracle System Assistant. To acquire Oracle System Assistant for your server, contact Oracle Support.
Use this procedure to recover the Oracle System Assistant software.
Before You Begin
Local or remote view and response access to the server boot messages is required. For more information, refer to Cabling the Server Module in Sun Blade X3-2B (formerly Sun Blade X6270 M3) Installation Guide.
Download the image that is specific to your server. The package name for the update image for the server is: X6270 M3 SW version -- Oracle System Assistant
For example, for the Sun Blade X3-2B, you could download the update image: Sun_Blade_X6270_M3-1.0.0.75555-ORACLE_SYSTEM_ASSISTANT_UPDATER_ 4G.iso. This file name is an example, and you need to download the correct file.
For information about accessing My Oracle Support and downloading this image, see Download Firmware and Software Using My Oracle Support.

When the recovery process is finished, you have the option to verify the integrity of the files on the USB drive.
The following screen appears and indicates that the Oracle System Assistant USB device was verified successfully. The system then reboots and launches the Oracle System Assistant application.
The server boots to Oracle System Assistant.
The verification process starts. When the task is finished, the server boots to Oracle System Assistant.
