Creating required data files with Windows PE
Some Toolkit utilities require data files as input arguments to provide detailed settings for the system. You can build data files manually to use with the utilities, but Toolkit utilities can also capture existing configuration data files from a server that can then be customized to use with other servers.
NOTE: For more information about using the Toolkit utilities and building data files manually, refer to the HP SmartStart Scripting Toolkit Linux and Win32 Editions User Guide, located on the Toolkit website (http://www.hp.com/servers/sstoolkit).
SmartStart Scripting Toolkit Win32 Edition utilities are only supported in a Win32 environment. They can run in either Windows® or Windows® PE. To use the Toolkit utilities in a Windows® PE environment, Windows® PE must be built with the latest HP drivers to ensure the utilities can access the hardware. For more information, refer to "Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (on page 5)."
