Prerequisites and Deployment 25
You can use the Systems Build and Update Utility and Systems Service and
Diagnostics Tools available
on the Dell Systems Management Tools and
Documentation
DVD supplied with your system to:
• Streamline the operating system installation.
• Setup and configure your system, including automatic discovery and
configuration of Dell-provided RAID controllers and network adapters.
• Access and load the latest utilities, drivers, and diagnostics for your system.
• Install Dell OpenManage systems management software.
NOTE: You can also download the latest drivers from support.dell.com.
For complete information about using the Systems Build and Update Utility
and the Dell Systems Service and Diagnostics Tools, see the Dell Systems
Build and Update Utility User’s Guide and the Dell Systems Service and
Diagnostics Tools Quick Installation Guide, available at
support.dell.com/manuals and on the Dell Systems Management Tools and
Documentation DVD.
After you have loaded the operating system and all applicable device drivers
from the
Systems Build and Update Utility and Systems Service and
Diagnostics Tools, check support.dell.com for the latest drivers. Put all
necessary drivers to be used in the deployment in the system directory for the
target system. For example, if your target system is a PowerEdge R720, put all
necessary files in the \Toolkit\Systems\peR720 directory (Windows) or
/opt/dell/toolkit/systems/peR720 directory (Linux).
RAC Configuration
Configure the RAC on your source system using the RACADM.EXE
(Windows) or racadm (Linux)utility, if applicable. See
the Integrated Dell
Remote Access Controller 7(iDRAC7) User Guide
for comprehensive
information about using the RACADM.EXE or racadm utility to configure
the RAC on your source system.
After you have successfully prepared your directory structure for a deployment
and fully configured your source system, you are ready to write, review, or edit
the deployment sample scripts. For instructions on editing the sample scripts
necessary to run a full deployment, see "Preparing the Script Files" on
page 51.
