A number of third-party PXE deployment tools are available for Windows® and Linux. For additional information, refer to the HP website (ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/servers/management/pxe_wp.pdf). HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack NOTE: To deploy server blades in an existing server blade enclosure, always use the most recent version of RDP available at the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/rdp). The RDP software is the preferred method for rapid, high-volume server deployments. The RDP software integrates two powerful products: Altiris Deployment Solution and the HP ProLiant Integration Module. The intuitive graphical user interface of the Altiris Deployment Solution console provides simplified pointand-click and drag-and-drop operations that enable you to deploy target servers, including server blades, remotely. It enables you to perform imaging or scripting functions and maintain software images. For more information about the RDP, refer to the HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack CD or refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/rdp). 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 (http://www.hp.com/servers/sstoolkit). CD-ROM deployment CD-ROM deployment involves using a bootable CD that executes scripts to configure the hardware and install the OS. After the OS is configured, the server blade can access the network to locate the scripts and files necessary for deployment. Before beginning the deployment process, connect the server blade to the network. NOTE: For more information about hardware and cabling configurations, see the documents that ship with the enclosure. Two methods are available for CD-ROM deployment: • iLO virtual CD-ROM (on page 37) • USB CD-ROM (on page 38) iLO virtual CD-ROM To deploy with a boot CD: 1. Do one of the following: o Insert the boot CD into the client PC using the iLO 2 Remote Console. Software and configuration utilities 37
