HP SmartSetup Scripting Toolkit

The SmartSetup Scripting Toolkit (SSTK) enables you to deploy a large number of HP Integrity servers rapidly and efficiently. Using SSTK, you can develop custom scripts that simplify server deployments by automating various hardware configuration and software installation operations. SSTK can set specific Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) boot variables, create disk partitions, and tie into the standard unattended installation process to install the OS and selected applications.

SSTK is delivered as a tar file that is used to install and configure the product. For more information, see the “Configuring the Repository” section of the SmartSetup Scripting Toolkit Deployment Guide:

HP SAS Integrated Raid (IR) Configuration Utility

The Integrated Raid (IR) Configuration Utility, cfggen, is a Linux command line utility that configures the IR functionality of the HP Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controllers that are used in LSI-1068-based HP SAS controllers. This utility is a minimally interactive program that can be executed from the Linux prompt. The result from invoking this utility is communicated to the environment through the program status value returned when the program exits.

For more information about cfggen, see cfggen(8), the “Utilities Reference” chapter of the SmartSetup Scripting Toolkit Deployment Guide, or the HP 8 Internal Port SAS Host Bus Adapter (SAS Controller) Users Guide:

HP Integrity Virtual Machines WBEM Provider

HP Integrity Virtual Machines (Integrity VM), is a soft partitioning and virtualization technology within the HP Virtual Server Environment, that enables you to create multiple virtual servers or machines within a single HP Integrity server or nPartition. Each virtual machine hosts its own: "guest" operating system instance, applications and users. The HP Integrity VM WBEM provider facilitates the enabling of manageability and support of guests

Product Installation Dependencies

Some software products have dependencies or prerequisites that might not be available on your system. When installing software, the Management media installer attempts to handle any dependencies that are required. Also, most required software is provided with your Linux OS distribution media and should be installed by default.

If there is required software that is not delivered with the Management media installer or with the Linux OS installation, an error message displays information about the missing software packages or files and the installation process is aborted. You must then obtain and install the required packages or files before running the installer again. See your Linux OS for information about obtaining and installing the missing software. A list of software dependencies for all supported Linux distributions is provided in “HP Support Pack Dependencies” (page 53).

NOTE: The Management media installer automatically checks your system for the hpmgmtbase software. This software is installed or updated by default.

Removing OpenWBEM

OpenPegasus is required to install nPartition Commands, Partition Manager, and HP WBEM Providers. Removing OpenWBEM requires the removal of several other SLES utilities. You
