Configuring Your BMC Using the Deployment Toolkit Utility
The Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit Version 2.1 SYSCFG.EXE Utility includes a set of
Microsoft
®
Windows PE and Linux-based utilities for configuring and deploying PowerEdge systems.
The Deployment ToolKit (DTK) SYSCFG.EXE utility is specifically designed to address all necessary
BMC configuration tasks using a powerful and comprehensive command-line interface. This utility runs
on PowerEdge 1425SC and all supported PowerEdge x7xx, x8xx, and x9xx systems.
To use the BMC Management Utility, configure your managed system with the SYSCFG.EXE utility by
performing the following tasks:
• Install the Deployment Toolkit Version 2.1.
• Create either a BMC configuration diskette or CD containing a bootable image, the appropriate CD
drivers (for a CD only), and the SYSCFG.EXE utility.
• Configure BMC Users.
• Configure BMC SOL access.
• Configure BMC IPMI serial access.
