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.
For more information, and to download the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit, refer to the HP website
