Installing the Operating System Using the ISO Image
Follow this procedure to install the Oracle Linux operating system and all the necessary software to establish connections outbound from the Gateway to Oracle through Data Transport Services (DTS), and inbound from Oracle to the Gateway through Oracle Continuous Connection Network (OCCN) VPN connectivity. The steps are the same for a server or virtual machine, so the term "server" is used to represent both options in the following instructions.
Note - If you are using a proxy to establish the TLS VPN tunnel, the proxy cannot require authentication.
Note - If you are using the alternative IPSec connectivity option, the IPSec tunnel must be established prior to the ISO install. Contact your implementation engineer for further information.
To complete the ISO installation, follow these steps:
Before You Begin
Back up your data before re-initializing the disks.
 | Caution - Possible data loss. Make sure to back up any data currently on the disks before re-initializing the disks. |
-
Boot the server with the ISO image.
A screen similar to the one shown below appears.
-
To start the installation process, choose the default option, Install Oracle
Advanced Support Gateway (MODULAR).
The initial installation process takes a number of minutes to complete.
- Before rebooting the server, eject or unmount the install media so that the server boots the newly installed operating system.
- Press Enter to reboot the server.
- Once the server has rebooted, proceed to the Gateway configuration in the following section.
