3 Product Support
This chapter points you to documentation to help you work with Microsoft Windows Server
2003 on HP Integrity servers and to obtain the system firmware, drivers, and utilities applicable
to Windows Server 2003.
Technical Documentation
Technical documentation for HP Integrity servers running Windows Server 2003 includes the
following manuals in English and Japanese. These manuals are available on the HP Smart Setup
CD and from the HP Integrity support Web site: http://www.hp.com/support/itaniumservers/.
Smart Setup Guide Provides instructions for installing, reinstalling, or
migrating to Windows Server 2003 on HP Integrity servers.
Headless Installation white paper Provides a discussion of the benefits of installing,
configuring, and managing Windows-on-Integrity systems
in a “headless” fashion, usually remotely, and without the
need for a monitor, keyboard, or mouse being directly
attached to the server.
nPartition Guide Provides instructions for creating, configuring, and
managing nPartitions on cell-based HP Integrity servers
running Windows Server 2003.
Support Pack and Deployment Utilities
User Guide
Provides instructions for using the deployment utility and
setup tools to perform routine software maintenance tasks
in Windows Server 2003 64-bit server environments.
Cluster Installation and Configuration
Guide
Provides instructions for configuring your Integrity server
as a node in a cluster. Clusters consist of multiple nodes
but appear as a single, virtual server to the outside world.
They help to eliminate unplanned system downtime by
providing hardware and software redundancy.
Boot from SAN Guide Provides instructions for booting your server from a storage
area network (SAN) instead of internal SCSI and IDE
storage devices. Booting from an external SAN decreases
downtime through faster server replacement in the event
of a server failure.
SmartSetup Scripting Toolkit
Deployment Guide
Provides instructions for using the SmartSetup Scripting
Toolkit (SSTK) to perform automated replication of a
server’s hardware configuration and attached storage array
controllers. The SSTK also ties into standard, unattended
installation processes for the Windows OS and applications.
