HP offers the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit (SSSTK) for multi-server deployments. Using SmartStart technology, the Scripting Toolkit provides a flexible way to create standard server configuration scripts to automate many of the manual steps in the server configuration process. This automated server configuration process cuts time from each server deployed, making it possible to scale server deployments to high volumes in rapid fashion.
The SmartStart Scripting Toolkit is a server deployment product that delivers unattended automated installation for high volume ProLiant server installations. Available in Win32, Win64, and Linux editions, the Toolkit supports ProLiant DL, ML and SL 300, 500, 700 and ProLiant BL servers in both Windows and Linux environments and now includes limited ProLiant 100 series support. The toolkit includes a modular set of utilities and important documentation that describes how to apply these new tools to build an automated server deployment process.
