Scripting Toolkit
The Scripting Toolkit is a server deployment product for IT experts that delivers an unattended
automated installation for high-volume server deployments. This document describes how to best
use the Toolkit to configure HP ProLiant servers. It also contains information about the 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 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 ProLiant server hardware should use the Toolkit utilities. Before using the Toolkit, all
necessary precautions must be taken to ensure that mission-critical systems remain online if a failure
occurs.
