Scripting Toolkit

The Scripting Toolkit is a server deployment product that enables you to build an unattended automated
installation for high-volume server deployments. The Scripting Toolkit is designed to support ProLiant BL, ML,
DL, and SL 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 Scripting Toolkit 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, and to download the Scripting Toolkit, see the HP website

HP Service Pack for ProLiant

SPP is a release set that contains a comprehensive collection of firmware and system software components,

SPP has several key features for updating HP ProLiant servers. Using HP SUM as the deployment tool, SPP can
be used in an online mode on a Windows or Linux hosted operating system, or in an offline mode where the
