Hardware and Software Requirements
Before installing the DTK components for embedded Linux, ensure that you have:
The DTK ISO image, which contains the utilities, sample scripts, sample configuration files, and documentation
you need to deploy your Dell system.
A Linux workstation that has at least 200 MB of free hard-drive space.An unzip utility.
When building customized Linux ISOs, you might need to incorporate the following Red Hat Package Managers
(RPMs) and scripts provided by DTK to ensure a successful build:
o
dell.tar.gz - Dell Deployment Toolkit which contains the DTK tools
and sample scripts.
o
omreg.cfg - Configuration file for instrumentation software. Edit this file, if required, to point to where
the DTK tools are placed. The modified file should be under the location "/etc."
o
start-raid.sh - Contains basic setup for RAID to work. You need to run this script to create device nodes
required by RAIDCFG and files required by HAPI.
o
start-stage3.sh - A sample DTK startup script that loads all the modules and drivers required for the ISO
to work. You will have to replicate this setup in your customized Linux ISO
If you have the DTK CD mounted under "/mnt/cdrom," you can extract the DTK tools, scripts, and other essentials
to build your customized ISO image under the "tools" folder at the root of the CD.
