Linux Scripting Toolkit enables you
to tailor and build custom hardware deployment solutions. It provides
hardware configuration and Linux operating
system (OS) installation for Lenovo System x, BladeCenter, and iDataPlex hardware.
Through a console,
Linux Scripting Toolkit simplifies
creating, customizing, and deploying hardware configurations and
Network Operating System (
NOS) deployments. By using
Linux Scripting Toolkit, you can create a bootable
ISO image, USB key, or PXE boot image that supports the following
types of deployment:
- Policy-based RAID configuration using PRAID
- Cloning of a RAID configuration
- Configuration of system settings, using Advanced Settings Utility (ASU)
- Configuration of Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs)
- Firmware updates using UpdateXpress System Pack Installer (UXSPi)
- UpdateXpress System Pack installation that
is integrated with an automated deployment of a Network Operating System (NOS)
- Systems Director Agent installation
that is integrated with an automated deployment of an NOS
