SmartStart Scripting Toolkit
The SmartStart Scripting Toolkit is a set of Microsoft® MS-DOS-based utilities
that enables you to configure and deploy servers in a customized, predictable,
and unattended manner. These utilities provide scripted server and array
replication for mass server deployment and duplicate the configuration of a
source server onto target systems with minimum user interaction.
For more information, and to download the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit, refer to
the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/sstoolkit
).
Configuration Replication Utility
ConRep is shipped in the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit and is a program that
works with RBSU to replicate hardware configuration on ProLiant servers. This
utility is run during State 0, Run Hardware Configuration Utility, when doing a
scripted server deployment. ConRep reads the state of the system environment
variables to determine the configuration and then writes the results on an editable
script file. This file can then be deployed across multiple servers with similar
hardware and software components. For more information, refer to the
SmartStart Scripting Toolkit User Guide on the HP website
(http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/toolkit/documentatio
n.html).
