HP Insight Control server deployment (formerly RDP)

HP Insight Control is essential server management that unlocks the management capabilities built into HP
ProLiant servers. Insight Control delivers powerful capabilities that enable customers to proactively manage
ProLiant server health - whether physical or virtual, deploy ProLiant servers quickly, optimize power
consumption, and control ProLiant servers from anywhere.
HP Insight Control server deployment is a key component of Insight Control which provides an automated,
simple-to-use solution for bare-metal deployment and configuration of HP ProLiant servers with an operating
system or virtualization platform. Insight Control server deployment includes an unaltered Altiris Deployment
Solution while providing optimization for deployment of HP ProLiant servers using HP ProLiant Integration
Module.
HP Insight Control facilitates the installation, configuration, and deployment of high-volumes of servers
through an intuitive, comprehensive console, using either scripting or imaging technology. It makes
deploying a server as easy as selecting one, a few, or hundreds of target servers, selecting predefined
images or scripts, and clicking Run.

Automatic Server Recovery

ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error occurs, such as
a blue screen, ABEND (does not apply to HP ProLiant DL980 Servers), or panic. A system fail-safe timer, the
ASR timer, starts when the System Management driver, also known as the Health Driver, is loaded. When the
operating system is functioning properly, the system periodically resets the timer. However, when the
operating system fails, the timer expires and restarts the server.
