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:
•
Configuring hardware using embedded configuration utilities, such as RBSU and ORCA
•
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 46)
•
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 40), Array Diagnostic Utility (on page
