Glossary 
Deployment server 
The component of an RDP environment that provides the foundation for deploying and 
managing servers using Rapid Deployment Pack (RDP). 
Flash archive 
From flar(1M), A flash archive is an easily transportable version of a reference configuration 
of the Solaris operating environment, plus other optional software. 
GRand Unified 
Bootloader (GRUB) 
The bootloader used by Solaris 10 1/06 and later. 
HP ProLiant Essentials 
Rapid Deployment Pack 
(RDP) 
A multiserver deployment tool that enables IT administrators to deploy large volumes of 
servers in an unattended, automated fashion. For more information, see 
Install Media Root 
Directory 
The directory to which the Solaris installation media has been copied. This directory was 
given to setup_install_server(1M) when the media was copied to disk. 
Install server 
An NFS server that serves the Solaris installation media to clients undergoing network-based 
development. 
Integrated Lights-Out 
(iLO) 
The remote management facility on HP ProLiant servers. For more information, see 
JumpStart profile 
A configuration file used in automated deployments that provides certain installation 
configuration information, such as filesystem layout, disk partitioning, and which packages 
are to be installed. 
JumpStart server 
A server that makes JumpStart profiles and sysidcfg(4) files available through NFS to 
installation clients. 
Miniroot 
A compressed disk image of a small but functional single-file system Solaris instance that can 
be booted by GRUB and is used during installation and in failsafe mode. 
Multiboot 
The Solaris multiboot program that is loaded and run by GRUB, and loads and transfers 
control to the Solaris kernal. 
Option ROM 
Configuration for Arrays 
(ORCA) 
A utility that can be used to perform simple Smart Array administration. ORCA can be 
accessed by pressing F8 when prompted during POST. 
Power On Self-Test 
(POST) 
A portion of a server run cycle that occurs after power-on (or reboot) but before a bootloader 
(such as GRUB) is run, and includes, for example, optional ROM initialization. 
Pre-installation 
environment 
A static, standalone instance of an operating system that is booted over the network and is 
used by Rapid Deployment Pack to perform pre-installation hardware configuration. Rapid 
Deployment Pack uses both Windows-based and Linux-based pre-installation environments. 
Preboot eXecution 
Environment (PXE) 
A specification commonly used on x86-architecture systems that provides for booting such a 
system from the network. On ProLiant servers, a PXE boot can be initiated by pressing F12 
when prompted during POST. 
ROM-Based Setup Utility 
(RBSU) 
A utility that can be accessed by booting the server and pressing F9 when prompted during 
the POST. 
Staging system 
A system that prepares an object that can be used or stored elsewhere, such as a miniroot or 
custom ISO image. Such a system might be necessary if the system that ultimately stores the 
object is not capable of producing it. Conceptually, the staging system is only required during 
the initial preparation of an object, not during the normal use of that object.
