Installation Prerequisites
======================================================================
Before installing the DTK components for embedded Linux, ensure
that you have:
* The DTK ISO image, which contains the utilities, sample scripts,
sample configuration files, and documentation you need to deploy
your Dell system
* A Linux workstation that has at least 200 MB of free hard-drive
space
When building customized Linux ISOs, you might need to incorporate
the following Red Hat Package Managers (RPMs) and scripts provided
by DTK to ensure a successful build:
* dell.tar.gz - Dell Deployment Toolkit which contains the DTK tools
and sample scripts.
* omreg.cfg - Configuration file for instrumentation software. Edit
this file, if required, to point to where the DTK tools are placed.
The modified file should be under the location "/etc."
* start-hapi.sh - Startup script to load and configure the HAPI
drivers. You need to run this script to load the OpenIPMI Modules
and to create files required by HAPI.
* start-raid.sh - Contains basic setup for RAID to work. You need to
run this script to create device nodes required by RAIDCFG and
files required by HAPI.
* start-stage3.sh - A sample DTK startup script that loads all
the modules and drivers required for the ISO to work. You will
have to replicate this setup in your customized Linux ISO.
* srvadmin-hapi RPM - Contains a set of libraries and drivers used
by DTK tools to interact with the hardware.
