Setting Up Software and Firmware Using 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, Oracle VM, or

Windows operating system, update your server to the latest software release, and configure

server hardware.

Note -

For Oracle Solaris installations, Oracle System Assistant does not additionally install

recommended drivers or tools. Updates to the Oracle Solaris OS are accomplished using

Oracle Solaris package update software. For Linux, Oracle VM, and Windows, Oracle System

Assistant can additionally install 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.

This section describes how to set up the software and firmware for the server using Oracle

System Assistant, as follows:
