This section describes how to prepare your server for operating system installation.
A number of tasks must be completed before you can install an operating system. These include:
Getting firmware and software updates
Installing firmware updates
Configuring Oracle ILOM network addresses
Configuring RAID
Once these things are done, you can install the operating system.
You can do these things using Oracle System Assistant, or using other methods. Oracle recommends that you use Oracle System Assistant.
To use Oracle System Assistant, see Prepare the Server for OS Installation.
To prepare the server for OS installation using other methods, see:
