Install Server System Tools

  1. Do one of the following:
    • If your system does not have Oracle System Assistant:
      1. Download the latest server system tools and drivers package from the My Oracle Support site.

        For more information, see Getting Server Firmware and Software Updates in Sun Blade X4-2B Installation Guide .

      2. Unzip the downloaded tools and drivers package to the server.

        The server system tools are located in the following directories—where version is the version of the installed Windows OS:

        • Windows Install Pack MSM (MegaRaid Storage Manager): Windows/version/Tools/LSI-MSM

        • NIC Teaming for Windows: Windows/version/Tools/Intel-NIC-PROSet

        • Oracle Hardware Management Pack: Windows/version/Tools/Hardware-Management-Pack

    • If your system has Oracle System Assistant:
      1. From the OS, open a file browser, and navigate to the Oracle System Assistant USB device.

        The USB device is named: ORACLE_SSM


        image:A screen capture showing the devices as seen from the Windows file browser.
      2. Double-click the ORACLE_SSM USB drive.

        The server system tools are located in the following directories:

        • Windows Install Pack MSM (MegaRaid Storage Manager): Windows/version/Tools/LSI-MSM

        • NIC Teaming for Windows: Windows/version/Tools/Intel-NIC-PROSet

        • Oracle Hardware Management Pack: Windows/version/Tools/Hardware-Management-Pack

        where version is the version of the installed Windows OS.

  2. To install server system tools:
  3. Navigate to the installer folder:

    drive:\ORACLE_SSM\Windows\version\installer.

    where version is the version of the installed Windows OS.

  4. Double-click the InstallPack.hta file.

    The InstallPack application appears.

  5. To install the server system tools, ensure that Custom is selected and click next.

    The Custom setting allows you to select which tool to install.

  6. Ensure that Supplemental software option is selected.

    Ensure that the option to install Platform-specific drivers is not selected.


    Note - The Platform-specific drivers option allows you to install the drivers for your server. These drivers are installed during the OS installation process.
  7. Click Next and select the tools to install.
  8. Click Next and continue through the Install Pack application until the tool installation process is finished.
