Scripting Toolkit for Windows and Linux
The STK for Windows and Linux is a server deployment product that delivers an unattended automated
installation for high-volume server deployments. The STK is designed to support ProLiant servers. The
toolkit includes a modular set of utilities and important documentation that describes how to apply these
tools to build an automated server deployment process.
The STK 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 deployment, making it possible to scale rapid, high-volume
server deployments.
For more information or to download the STK, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
UEFI System Utilities
The UEFI System Utilities is embedded in the system ROM. Its features enable you to perform a wide
range of configuration activities, including:
• Configuring system devices and installed options.
• Enabling and disabling system features.
• Displaying system information.
• Selecting the primary boot controller or partition.
• Configuring memory options.
• Launching other preboot environments.
HPE servers with UEFI can provide:
• Support for boot partitions larger than 2.2 TB. Such configurations could previously only be used for
boot drives when using RAID solutions.
• Secure Boot that enables the system firmware, option card firmware, operating systems, and software
collaborate to enhance platform security.
• UEFI Graphical User Interface (GUI)
• An Embedded UEFI Shell that provides a preboot environment for running scripts and tools.
• Boot support for option cards that only support a UEFI option ROM.
Selecting the boot mode
This server provides two Boot Mode configurations: UEFI Mode and Legacy BIOS Mode. Certain boot
options require that you select a specific boot mode. By default, the boot mode is set to UEFI Mode. The
system must boot in UEFI Mode to use certain options, including:
