Deployment methods
Four primary deployment methods are supported:
IMPORTANT:
To deploy a workstation blade without the RDP, create a bootable diskette or
image of a bootable diskette.
•
PXE deployment (on page
43
)
•
CD-ROM deployment (on page
44
)
•
Diskette image deployment (on page
45
)
•
SAN configuration (on page

)
PXE deployment
PXE enables workstation blades to load an image over the network from a PXE server, and then execute it
in memory. The first NIC on the workstation blade is the default PXE boot NIC, but any of the other NC
series NICs can be configured to boot PXE. For more information, refer to "Network-based PXE
deployment (on page
41
)."
NOTE:
Actual NIC numeration depends on several factors, including the OS installed on the
workstation blade.
HP recommends using one of the following methods for PXE deployment:
•
HP ProLiant Essentials RDP ("
HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack
" on page
43
)
•
SmartStart Scripting Toolkit (on page
43
)
A number of third-party PXE deployment tools are available for Windows® and Linux. For additional
information, refer to the HP website
(

).
HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack
NOTE:
To deploy workstation blades in an existing server blade enclosure, always use the
most recent version of RDP available at the HP website (
http://www.hp.com/servers/rdp
).
The RDP software is the preferred method for rapid, high-volume server deployments. The RDP software
integrates two powerful products: Altiris Deployment Solution and the HP ProLiant Integration Module.
The intuitive graphical user interface of the Altiris Deployment Solution console provides simplified point-
and-click and drag-and-drop operations that enable you to deploy target servers, including server blades,
remotely. It enables you to perform imaging or scripting functions and maintain software images.
For more information about the RDP, refer to the HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack CD or
refer to the HP website (
http://www.hp.com/servers/rdp
).
SmartStart Scripting Toolkit
The SmartStart Scripting Toolkit is a server deployment product that delivers an unattended automated
installation for high-volume server deployments. The SmartStart Scripting Toolkit is designed to support
