15. Export the environment variables as follows:

a) Run export DT_OS_DISK=/dev/sda, the disk device on which the Dell utility partition was

created.

b) Run export DT_OS_SRC=/tmp/os_src, where vmlinuz, initrd.img, and kickstart file are

available.

c) Run export DT_HD=/dev/sda.

16. From /opt/dell/toolkit/template/scripts, run /lininst.sh script.

Installing SUSE Linux Server Operating System Using DTK

CAUTION: It is recommended that you consult your SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating

system documentation and unattended deployment documentation to develop a thorough

understanding of the unattended installation process before attempting to perform a full scripted

deployment.

NOTE: While installing Linux, ensure that you install grub in the boot partition. Otherwise, you

cannot boot to the utility partition by pressing the <F10> key during reboot.

To install SUSE Linux Enterprise Server using the suseinst.sh script:

1. On the source system, navigate to the location of the required SUSE Linux Enterprise Linux operating

system image.

2. Create two NFS shares at /etc/exports, /osimage and /dtkosinstall.

3. Restart the NFS service.

4. Copy the operating system image to /osimage share.

5. Copy initrd.img and vmlinuz to /dtkosinstall share.

6. Boot DTK on the target machine.

7. Create the virtual disk using the raidcfg command.

8. Run partcfg.sh at (/opt/dell/toolkit/template/scripts/) to create the Dell utility partition and OS

partition in BIOS or UEFI mode.

NOTE: Ensure that the correct partition is set to DT_HD.

9. Create a directory under /tmp. For example, os_src.

10. Mount the NFS share (/dtkosinstall) to /tmp/os_src.

11. Copy Sles-autoinst.xml (in BIOS mode) or Sles-autoinst_uefi.xml (in UEFI mode) from /opt/dell/

toolkit/template/configs to NFS share (/dtkosinstall) on the source machine. In BIOS mode, rename

the

Sles-autoinst.xml to autoinst.xml. In UEFI mode, rename the Sles-autoinst_uefi.xml to

autoinst.xml_uefi.
