HP Scripting Toolkit 9.50 for Linux User Guide

1 Introduction
Scripting Toolkit
The Scripting Toolkit is a server deployment product for IT experts that delivers an unattended
automated installation for high-volume server and BladeSystem infrastructure deployments. This
document describes how to best use the Scripting Toolkit to configure HP ProLiant servers and
BladeSystem infrastructure. It also contains information about the Scripting Toolkit utilities and how
to use them in an unattended environment. This document does not include information about
installing the operating system.
CAUTION: Improper use of the Scripting Toolkit utilities can result in loss of critical data. Because
of the potential data-loss risk, only individuals experienced in scripting operating system installations
and configuring HP ProLiant server hardware should use the Scripting Toolkit utilities. Before using
the Scripting Toolkit, all necessary precautions must be taken to ensure that mission-critical systems
remain online if a failure occurs.
NOTE: This release of the Scripting Toolkit uses HP Smart Storage Administrator (HP SSA), instead
of the Array Configuration Utility (ACU). HP SSA includes all of the functions previously contained
in ACU and the Array Configuration Utility Command Linux Interface (ACUCLI).
