Introduction
Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of utilities for
configuring and deploying Dell PowerEdge systems. You can use DTK to
build script-based and RPM-based installation for deploying large number of
systems in a reliable way, without changing 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
DTK CLI does not have any updates for this release.
Requirements
For Windows PE, the DTK utilities support Windows PE 2.0 (32-bit and 64-bit)
and Windows PE 3.0 (32-bit and 64-bit).
For embedded Linux, the DTK utilities can be run on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux (version 4, update 4) 32-bit.
Toolkit Utilities
DTK contains utilities that allow you to configure the BIOS, Baseboard
Management Controller (BMC), Remote Access Controller (RAC),
RAID controllers, and hard-drive partitions on supported Dell systems.
Additionally, the utilities can be integrated with the sample files provided
with the toolkit to fully configure one-to-many target systems in a scripted
mass system deployment.
NOTE: In a Linux environment, the DTK utilities do not have the .exe extension.
