Prepare the ISO Image Install Media

An ISO image is an archive file (also known as a disk image) of an optical disc, composed of the data contents of every written sector of an optical disc, including the optical disc file system. To install the software gateway, you must make the contents of the ISO image available to the machine (physical or virtual) that hosts the gateway.

There are several ways to achieve this, including burning the contents of the ISO image to a DVD drive, which is the Oracle recommended solution as it requires no modifications to the downloaded ISO image.

If you're using Windows 11, double-click the ISO image file to mount the file as a virtual disc.

To burn an ISO image to a DVD for the Windows platform, use a commercial DVD burning utility such as Roxio or Nero or search for a free utility on the internet.

You can also prepare the ISO image using ILOM storage redirection. Refer to Oracle ILOM Administrator's Guide for Configuration and Maintenance Firmware for further information.
