Software and configuration utilities
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, DL, and 100 series 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 deployment,
making it possible to scale server deployments to high volumes in a rapid manner.
