Single server

Install an OS to a single server using one of the following methods:

Locally: OS installation is performed locally at the server. This option is convenient if you have just completed the physical installation of the server in the rack. You can use Oracle System Assistant, or perform the installation manually. Additional hardware is required.
Remotely: OS installation is performed from a remote location. Uses the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) Remote Console application to access Oracle System Assistant or to perform a manual OS installation.

Note - Use Oracle System Assistant for local or remote single server OS installations.
