Launching Oracle System Assistant

Oracle System Assistant is the preferred application for setting up your system software and firmware. Oracle System Assistant is an embedded, task-based server provisioning tool that enables you to perform initial server setup and maintenance for some Oracle x86 servers.

Using Oracle System Assistant, you can install a supported Oracle Solaris, Linux, or Windows Server operating system, install Oracle VM Server sofware, update your server to the latest software release, and configure server hardware.

Note - For Oracle Solaris installations, Oracle System Assistant does not install drivers or tools. For Linux, Oracle VM Server, and Windows Server, Oracle System Assistant installs the recommended drivers and tools that are supported by the specific operating system or virtual machine software. For the list of optional software that can be installed when you use Oracle System Assistant to install operating systems, refer to the Oracle System Assistant ReadMe.

Use one of the following methods to access Oracle System Assistant:
