Understanding the Deployment Server

The Rapid Deployment Pack populates the Deployment Server Console with jobs and the Deployment
Server directory with tools, scripts, configuration files, software drivers, and documentation files. This

section explains these provided jobs and files, and the directory structure.

Jobs

The Rapid Deployment Pack adds four root folders into the Jobs pane.

Job folders

Folder Description

Server Deployment

The jobs in this folder perform a complete server deployment. They deploy a
default hardware configuration, execute a scripted operating system installation,

and install the appropriate ProLiant or Integrity Support Pack.

Server Deployment Toolbox The jobs in this folder provide more granular control over the server deployment

process. By providing jobs that perform only hardware configuration, operating
system installation, and value-add software installation, you can easily combine

various jobs together to suit your needs.

Server Replication

The jobs in this folder perform replication from a reference server to a target
server that is of the same server model with the same hardware configuration.

Virtual Machine Deployment
Toolbox

The jobs in this folder provide the ability to create a VMware ESX virtual machine
and to deploy an operating system to a virtual machine.
