Install Oracle VM Server to a single server using one of the
following methods:
-
Locally: Perform the Oracle VM Server installation
with physical access to the server. This option is
recommended if you have just completed the physical
installation of the server in the rack.
-
Remotely: Perform the Oracle VM Server installation
from a remote location. This option uses the Oracle ILOM
Remote System Console Plus application to perform a manual
Oracle VM Server installation.

Manual Oracle VM Server Installation
To install Oracle VM Server manually, you deliver the Oracle VM Server
distribution media on either a local or remote DVD drive, USB device, or DVD image.
You also need to install any necessary drivers. The drivers for your server are
included with the Oracle VM Server distribution media, and from the My Oracle
Support web site as either OS-specific or server-specific packages, or as an ISO
image file. To install Oracle VM Server, use the distribution media's
installation wizard.
