A remote OS installation is performed using the Oracle ILOM Remote Console application and a redirected CD/DVD drive or CD ISO image. The easiest method for a remote installation is to use Oracle System Assistant's assisted Install OS task. Use this procedure to set up for a remote Oracle System Assistant assisted installation or a remote manual (unassisted) installation.
Before You Begin
The following requirements must be met:
You should have already performed the server installation as described in the Sun Blade X4-2B Installation Guide .
The Remote Console system must be running on Solaris, Linux, or Windows.
The Remote Console system must be connected to a network that has access to the Sun server Ethernet management port.
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.5 must be installed.
If the Remote Console system is running Solaris, volume management must be disabled for Remote Console to access the CD/DVD-ROM drive.
If the Remote Console system is running Windows, disable Internet Explorer Enhanced Security.
The server service processor (SP) has been set up according to the instructions in the Oracle ILOM documentation for your server.
You need the SP IP address to access Oracle ILOM.
To ensure that the server has the latest updates, server web access is required.
