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
