Preparing the Directory Structure for Deployment in Embedded Linux 97
Sample Configuration Files
Table 7-4 describes examples of configuration files used to perform a scripted
deployment. These files are located at opt/dell/toolkit/template/configs.
NOTE: All configuration files are provided as examples only. These sample
configuration files must be edited before they can be used in any deployment tasks.
Sample Scripts
Table 7-5 lists sample scripts necessary to perform a scripted deployment.
NOTE: All DTK scripts are provided as examples only. Many of these sample
scripts must be edited before they can be used in a deployment. Some customers
may need to develop their own scripts entirely from scratch. Customers deploying
multiple systems must provide unique information for each Dell system where
appropriate. For example, system host names, IP addresses, and BIOS asset tags
need to be unique for each system. The batch scripts and configuration files must
be modified to reflect the unique information for each deployed system. Many
options are available to optimize this process. See "Preparing the Script Files for
Deployment Using Embedded Linux" for information about using the sample scripts
to perform a full deployment on supported Dell systems.
