HP Insight Online
HP Insight Online is a new capability of the HP Support Center portal. Combined with HP Insight Remote
Support 7.x, it automatically aggregates device health, asset, and support information from iLO
Management Engine with contract and warranty information, and then secures it in a single, personalized
dashboard that is viewable from anywhere at any time. The dashboard organizes your IT and service data
to help you understand and respond to that information more quickly. With specific authorization from you,
an authorized HP Channel Partner can also view your IT environment remotely at HP Insight Online.

Scripting Toolkit
The Scripting Toolkit is a server deployment product that enables you to build an unattended automated
installation for high-volume server deployments. The Scripting Toolkit is designed to support ProLiant BL, ML,
DL, and SL servers. The toolkit includes a modular set of utilities and important documentation that describes
how to apply these tools to build an automated server deployment process.
The Scripting Toolkit provides a flexible way to create standard server configuration scripts. These scripts are
used to automate many of the manual steps in the server configuration process. This automated server
configuration process cuts time from each deployment, making it possible to scale rapid, high-volume server
deployments.

be used in an online mode on a Windows or Linux hosted operating system, or in an offline mode where the
server is booted to the ISO so that the server can be updated automatically with no user interaction or
updated in interactive mode.
