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

)
•
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

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.
