Deployment Methods
Dell systems can be deployed using several methods. The most common
method is using the Systems Build and Update Utility
(SBUU) on the
Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD that is shipped
with your system. Currently, this method is used to deploy a single system at
a time with the installation wizard.
DTK, on the other hand, offers a complete set of utilities and sample scripts,
and RPM packages that can be used to automate deployment on large
numbers of Dell systems. This guide is designed to help guide you through
some of the most basic planning considerations, logistical preparations, and
deployment procedures to get you started using DTK to deploy Dell systems.
