Use this procedure to install one of these OSs using OSA:
Oracle VM
A supported Linux OS
Windows
See Supported OS Versions and Documentation.
Caution - Loss of data. The OS installation overwrites the contents of the drives on which the OS is installed. |
For additional information about how to set up the installation media, see Selecting the Boot Media.
If you want to configure the boot drive as a RAID volume, you must do so before you install an OS. See Configuring RAID.
Note - If the server is equipped with the SGX-SAS6-R-INT-Z HBA, you must create RAID and a bootable volume before installing the OS. Otherwise, the HBA will not be able to identify the server's drives.
From the Oracle ILOM web interface – Click Summary > Launch Oracle System Assistant.
Reset or power on the server.
See Reset the Server.
Note - During the reset or power on, pay close attention to the screen so that you can interrupt the boot process at the correct time.
