Plan Script
A
guestfish
script that deploys an operating system for compute modules or captures a Golden Image from an
operating system volume. OS Build Plans use the Plan Scripts for deployment and capture.
OS Build Plans
A set of Plan Scripts ordered as steps used to add, modify, or remove the configuration of an OS volume during the
deployment or capture process.
Golden Image
A block-for-block copy of a previously deployed OS volume that is used to deploy and configure operating systems
for compute modules. A previously deployed OS volume can consist of a bootable operating system, applications, and
I/O driver version.
Deployment Plan
A combination of a Golden Image and OS Build Plan that serves as an input for a server profile. The server profile is
then used for OS deployment.
Artifact Bundles
A bundle of artifacts that allows other artifacts to be packaged into a single archive file. This packaging allows the
artifacts to be moved between different Image Streamer appliances across different HPE Synergy Composer domains.
This format is used for the release of artifacts provided by Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
