Introduction

Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of utilities for

configuring and deploying Dell PowerEdge systems. DTK is designed for

customers who need to build scripted installations in order to deploy large

numbers of systems in a reliable fashion without having to dramatically

change their current deployment processes.

DTK consists of command line utilities to configure various system features,

sample scripts to perform common deployment tasks, and documentation for

each utility. You can use DTK in a Microsoft Windows Preinstallation

Environment (Windows PE) or a Linux environment.

What’s New in This Release

This release of DTK includes support for:

• Support for Windows PE 3.0 (32-bit and 64-bit)

• The following new BIOS tokens: datareuse, dcustreamerprefetcher,

embsdcardredundancy, qpibandwidthpriority, tcm, and remflashmedia

• Support for assigning and unassigning dedicated hot spares using the

RAIDCFG command

• For PERC 7, you can specify the size while creating the virtual disks for

RAID 10, RAID 50, and RAID 60

NOTE: For the list of PowerEdge systems supported for this version of DTK,
