Deployment using the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit 7
Deployment using the SmartStart Scripting
Toolkit
Deployment overview
The SmartStart Scripting Toolkit includes a set of utilities for configuring and deploying servers in a
customized, predictable, and unattended manner. These utilities enable you to duplicate the configuration
of a source server on target servers with minimal user interaction.
IMPORTANT: HP ProLiant 100 series servers do not support all toolkit commands. See
descriptions below for utility usage. Commands that are supported might not work as
expected. For a better understanding, read each section of the documentation carefully.
You can perform server deployments in many different ways using the Toolkit, but every deployment must
include the following basic steps:
1. Create a network share.
2. Prepare the bootable media (CD/DVD, USB drive key, or PXE).
3. Configure the system and storage hardware on the target server.
4. Perform the operating system installation.
HP also recommends installing the latest version of the PSP. To obtain the most current PSP, see the PSP
website (
http://www.hp.com/servers/psp).
IMPORTANT: Not all options can be configured using Toolkit utilities. Some options must be
configured manually or with other configuration utilities, which are available online, before
they can be used with the Toolkit. See the option documentation for more information on
configuration.
Sample deployment procedure
The following procedure is a case study of a typical deployment. This procedure assumes that you are
performing a CD-based installation and that you want to replicate an existing server configuration. The
process described in this section can vary depending on your specific requirements.
This section provides a simple overview of a basic deployment, but the flexibility of the SmartStart
Scripting Toolkit enables you to do much more. With an understanding of the basic steps and your own
deployment environment, you can use the Toolkit to further customize and automate the deployment
process. For information on automating deployments, see the "Advanced topics (on page 11)" section of
this document.
