Installing the Dell | Oracle Deployment Automation Scripts
After installing your operating system and attaching it to the RHN or ULN
Network, download the Dell|Oracle Tested and Validated tar file appropriate
for your operating system version and the Oracle database version onto your
Dell PowerEdge systems from the following website: dell.com/oracle.

the script requires the system to be connected to your subscribed operating system
