server deployment
The HP Insight Control server deployment is a multiserver deployment tool that enables IT
administrators to easily deploy large numbers of servers in an unattended, automated fashion.
The Insight Control server deployment is installed separately from HP SIM. It requires a license
for each server managed. You must register your Insight Control server deployment product to
purchase licenses or obtain a 10-node 30-day license before installing Insight Control server
deployment (a 10-node 7-day evaluation license is built into the software). The Insight Control
server deployment is installed from its own DVD. See http://www.hp.com/servers/rdp for
information about Insight Control server deployment including a link to obtain evaluation licenses
or register your product. See the Insight Control server deployment documentation for network
environment setup, prerequisites for the deployment server, and installation instructions.

server provisioning
HP Insight Control includes the rights for HP Insight Control server provisioning, which is a new
feature replacing HP Insight Control server deployment. HP Insight Control server provisioning
performs multi-server operating system provisioning to bare metal ProLiant and BladeSystem
servers. You can download the HP Insight Control server provisioning installation instructions from
http://www.hp.com/go/insightupdates.
HP Insight Control server deployment is still available on the DVD, and can be used for upgrade
purposes. However, Insight Control server deployment software license will no longer be included
with the sale of Insight Control. Insight Control customers wanting a new Insight Control server
deployment license will be required to purchase a standalone Insight Control server deployment
license.
