Server Automation content

Server Automation provides content that you can use to automate processes and software deployment.

Patching Microsoft Windows clusters

Server Automation middleware content
You can use the BigFix Lifecycle Server Automation middleware Tasks to automate the deployment of middleware applications. You can include these Tasks as steps in your Automation Plans.
Server Automation operating system deployment content
BigFix Lifecycle Server Automation provides a number of Fixlets that allow you to deploy operating systems from within IBM® BigFix. These Fixlets connect to the Tivoli® Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment server, which carries out the actual provisioning. You can include these Fixlets in your Automation Plans.
Server Automation Chef-Solo content
You can use BigFix Lifecycle Server Automation Chef-Solo Tasks to automate the installation of Chef-Solo and download and run Chef-Solo cookbooks and recipes. The Chef-Solo installation and Chef-Solo cookbooks are downloaded from the Opscode Community web site.
Server Automation RXA
You can use Server Automation content to install RXA on a system on which the BigFix agent is installed. RXA allows you to use that system as an intermediary to execute BigFix functionality on a different system, one that does not have the BigFix agent installed, for example, Linux embedded targets.
