Windows OS Installation Options
For single-server OS installations, Oracle System Assistant is recommended. For multiple-
server OS installations, Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center is recommended. The scope of
this document is for single-server OS installations. The table below provides some information
about these two installation options.
Option Description
Multiple servers You can use Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center to install an OS on multiple servers, For
information, go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/ops-center/index.html.
Single server Install an OS to a single server using one of the following methods:
■ Locally: Perform the OS installation locally at the server. This option is recommended if you
have just completed the physical installation of the server in the rack.
■ Remotely: Perform the OS installation from a remote location. This option uses the Oracle
ILOM Remote System Console Plus application to access Oracle System Assistant or to
perform a manual OS installation.
Note - Oracle recommends the use of Oracle System Assistant for single-server OS
installations.
