HP strongly recommends that you register your device for remote support to enable enhanced delivery of
your HP Warranty, HP Care Pack Service, or HP contractual support agreement. HP Insight Remote Support
supplements your monitoring continuously to ensure maximum system availability by providing intelligent

event diagnosis, and automatic, secure submission of hardware event notifications to HP, which will initiate
a fast and accurate resolution, based on your product’s service level. Notifications may be sent to your

authorized HP Channel Partner for onsite service, if configured and available in your country.

HP Insight Remote Support is available as part of HP Warranty, HP Care Pack Service, or HP contractual
support agreement.

Scripting Toolkit for Windows and Linux

The Scripting Toolkit for Windows and Linux is a server deployment product that delivers an unattended

automated installation for high-volume server deployments. The Scripting Toolkit is designed to support
ProLiant BL, ML, DL, and SL servers. The toolkit includes a modular set of utilities and important
documentation that describes how to apply these tools to build an automated server deployment process.
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 rapid, high-volume server

deployments.
For more information, and to download the Scripting Toolkit, see the HP website

HP Service Pack for ProLiant

SPP is a comprehensive systems software (drivers and firmware) solution delivered as a single ISO file with
major server releases. This solution uses HP SUM as the deployment tool and is tested on all supported HP

ProLiant servers including HP ProLiant Gen8 servers.
SPP can be used in an online mode on a Windows or Linux hosted operating system, or in an offline mode
where the server is booted to an operating system included on the ISO file so that the server can be updated

automatically with no user interaction or updated in interactive mode.
For more information or to download SPP, see one of the following pages on the HP website:
