deploy action

The deploy action performs the following tasks:
Checks the CLM mode (hpchkclm)
Creates and formats disk partitions (diskpart)
Copies the ISP and SmartUpdate files
Copies the PostInstall script
Executes Windows Setup
Reboots the system
NOTE: If you populated the ISP or SmartUpdate folders on the SSTK repository, the Postinstall
scripts automatically run and install the ISP package and QFEs just after the first boot to the newly
installed OS. In this case, the system automatically reboots one time after the SmartUpdate
installation and one more time after the ISP installation.
After Windows installation, the firewall is enabled by default. However, the unattended files
provided by the SSTK are configured to enable Firewall exception for Remote Desktop.
This enables you to connect to the target server using Remote Desktop. To obtain the target server
IP address, enter the i command at the Windows SAC.
