Preparing the Script Files for Deployment Using Embedded Linux 71
Preparing the Script Files for Deployment
Using Embedded Linux
This section describes the steps required to use the Deployment Toolkit (DTK) sample scripts to
perform a full deployment of a target system in the embedded Linux environment.
There are four main tasks:
• Writing the master deployment file and editing the tkenvset.sh script to set the variable values
used in the deployment scripts
• Editing the supporting task scripts, as necessary
• Using the DTK sample scripts to capture basic input/output system (BIOS), baseboard management
controller (BMC)(SYSCFG), and remote access controller (RAC) configuration information from an
optimally configured source system
• Preparing the operating system installation scripts and answer files
Using the Sample DTK Scripts to Run a Full Deployment in
Embedded Linux
The Master Deployment File
A scripted DTK deployment relies on the master deployment file to integrate all the applicable DTK
task scripts and utilities and perform pre-operating system configuration tasks before launching the
operating system installation files. The
master deployment file , along with the tkenvset.sh scripts,
make up the master set of instructions that drives the deployment process.

Deployment in Embedded Linux
Using the Sample Scripts in a Scripted Deployment
The sample scripts utilize the DTK utilities, the additional supporting utilities, the source system
configuration files, the target system hardware drivers, and the operating system installation files to
perform a full deployment of the target system.
