SmartStart Scripting Toolkit
The SmartStart Scripting Toolkit is a server deployment product that delivers an
unattended automated installation for high-volume server deployments. The
SmartStart Scripting Toolkit is designed to support ProLiant BL, ML, and DL
servers. 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.
Using SmartStart technology, 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 server deployed, making it
possible to scale server deployments to high volumes in a rapid manner.
