The ProLiant Remote Deployment Utility for Windows is a graphical application that provides
enhanced ProLiant Support Pack deployment capabilities. Using a graphical interface, the utility
enables you to deploy and maintain ProLiant Support Packs and Smart Components on a local
server or remote server accessible over a network connection.
To run the ProLiant Remote Deployment Utility, invoke the Setup.exe which is present as part of the
ProLiant Support Pack corresponding to each operating system. The ProLiant Support Pack is
identified based on the operating system installed on the server. The components that are supported
for installation are listed in the right side of the frame. The System Management Homepage can
be installed as a part of the complete ProLiant Support Pack, or you can install the System
Management Homepage component individually. The System Management Homepage component
also provides support for pre-configuration, which allows the configurations of the component to
be configured and saved as part of the component itself before installing on target machines. This
facilitates the installation of the pre-configured component without any user intervention, and the
installed component has the configurations, which are saved during pre-configuration.
All configurable components are listed at the top of the left frame under All configurable components.
Note:
Installation of a pre-configured component overwrites the configuration settings of
any existing System Management Homepage installation. If you wish to retain existing
settings, do not preconfigure the component.
