Replace Oracle System Assistant and Update the Firmware Files on the Oracle System Assistant USB Drive (BIOS)

This procedure replaces the Oracle System Assistant application, and places the latest versions of the firmware and drivers on the USB drive so that they are available to be installed. It does not install the updated firmware and drivers.

To install the updated firmware and drivers, see Update the BIOS, Service Processor, and Hardware Device Firmware (Oracle System Assistant).

You can use this procedure to replace Oracle System Assistant on a server that is not connected to the network.

1. Obtain a copy of the ORACLE SYSTEM ASSISTANT UPDATER patch. For details, see Obtaining Software and Firmware Updates.

   If the server you are updating is not connected to the network, after you get the bootable updater ISO file, make it available to the server using a CD/DVD drive, network location, or USB drive.

2. Configure BIOS to boot from the updater ISO file.

   For details, see Access the BIOS Setup Utility.

3. Boot from the updater ISO file.

   The server boots from the updater ISO file.

4. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

   This installs a new version of Oracle System Assistant on your server and updates the firmware, software, and driver files on the Oracle System Assistant USB drive.

   To install the firmware, software, and drivers, see Install Software and Firmware Updates.
