Configuration tools
SmartStart software
SmartStart is a collection of software that optimizes single-server setup, providing a simple and consistent
way to deploy server configuration. SmartStart has been tested on many ProLiant server products, resulting
in proven, reliable configurations.
SmartStart assists the deployment process by performing a wide range of configuration activities, including:
• Preparing the system for installing "off-the-shelf" versions of leading operating system software
• Installing optimized server drivers, management agents, and utilities automatically with every assisted
installation
• Testing server hardware using the Insight Diagnostics Utility ("HP Insight Diagnostics" on page 56)
• Installing software drivers directly from the CD. With systems that have Internet connection, the
SmartStart Autorun Menu provides access to a complete list of ProLiant system software.
• Enabling access to the Array Configuration Utility (on page 52) and Erase Utility (on page 54)
SmartStart is included in the HP Insight Foundation suite for ProLiant. For more information about SmartStart
software, see the HP Insight Foundation suite for ProLiant or the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/foundation).
SmartStart Scripting Toolkit
The SmartStart Scripting Toolkit is a server deployment product that allows you to build an unattended
automated installation for high-volume server deployments. The SmartStart Scripting Toolkit is designed to
support ProLiant BL, ML, DL, and SL servers. The toolkit includes a modular set of utilities and important
documentation that describes how to apply these tools to build an automated server deployment process.
The Scripting Toolkit provides a flexible way to create standard server configuration scripts. These scripts are
used to automate many of the manual steps in the server configuration process. This automated server
configuration process cuts time from each deployment, making it possible to scale rapid, high-volume server
deployments.
For more information, and to download the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit, see the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/servers/sstoolkit).
