The Scripting Toolkit (STK) for Windows and Linux provide flexible scripting to automate steps in HPE ProLiant server configurations to scale high volumes of server deployments rapidly and cut deployment time substantially. The STK includes a modular set of utilities and documentation that describe how to apply the scripting tools for an automated deployment process.

It delivers hands-off, unattended installation for high volume HPE ProLiant server deployments and is integrated with other management tools such as Integrated Lights Out (iLO), BIOS and is based on Intelligent Provisioning. Its "Rack and Go" approach frees up scarce IT resources, delivers consistent server configurations across multiple servers, and integrates into popular methods for operating system deployment. Past versions were based on SmartStart, and were known as the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit.

It also functions as an on-premise aggregator for HPE InfoSight for servers', collecting and securely transmitting data from the servers being monitored. It is currently available as a VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V and KVM appliance.

Troubleshooting server hardware issues taking too much time and information that could assist you in troubleshooting not captured? Myriad of tools and log files driving you crazy?
HPE Active Health System is an essential component of the iLO Management Engine portfolio. It is an industry-first technology that provides continuous, proactive health monitoring of over 1600 system parameters. 100% of configuration changes are logged for more accurate problem resolution. SmartMemory and SmartDrive devices log failure information to accurately document events and avoid inadvertent re-use of failed components. This enables customers to start problem analysis faster and spend less time reproducing or describing errors
For support, hand off the Active Health System log file to HPE support and get your issue resolution. You can also view the error information contained in the Active Health System Viewer by uploading your Active Health System file to https://infosight.hpe.com/app/login

Are you spending too much time and money on server updates?

Smart Update Manager (SUM) and the Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) combine to create the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Smart Update Technology to solve the problem of time-consuming, expensive, and error-prone updates.

SUM is an innovative tool for keeping the firmware, drivers, and system software of HPE ProLiant, HPE Synergy, HPE BladeSystem and HPE Moonshot infrastructures and associated options up to date and secure.

SUM discovers the installed hardware and the current versions of firmware, drivers, and system software, provides an update recommendation, and
applies the updates in an efficient order to reduce impact on operations.

SUM provides a variety of interfaces for applying updates, so you can pick the interface that meets your needs. Update the servers while they are offline or online, locally or remotely via web browser, or interactively or automatically.

Do you require rapid access to shared data between multiple servers within a Linux® high-performance computing (HPC) cluster on a Storage Area Network (SAN)? The HPE Clustered Extents File System is designed to provide simultaneous, high speed shared access to data between clustered Linux servers connected to a SAN, where each server in the cluster has direct high-speed data channels to a shared set of disks. The servers share a single name-space within the cluster, so each server can see all files, and can access files at local to near-local speeds. HPE Clustered Extents File System can scale for bandwidth or I/O by adding additional storage or network connections and provide for high availability (HA) of data within a design that detects and automatically recovers from server or network failure.
