ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack

The ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack software is the preferred method for
rapid, high-volume server blade deployments. The Rapid Deployment Pack software
integrates two powerful products: Altiris eXpress Deployment Solution and the
ProLiant Integration Module.
The Altiris eXpress Deployment Server Console has an intuitive graphical user
interface that provides simplified drag-and-drop server deployment using either
imaging or scripting. The console also has advanced features for blade servers. The
user can view blade servers in a physical tree view according to their
Rack\Enclosure\Bay settings. The Deployment Server can detect when a blade is
ripped out and replaced with a new blade. The user can configure the Deployment
Server to automatically replay all deployment jobs on the new blade.
If you purchased the Rapid Deployment Pack with the blade enclosure, follow the
instructions on the Quick Start Guide, included in the kit, to register and install the
software.
