Dell Openmanage Deployment Toolkit 5.0.
Release Type and Definition Deployment ToolKit The Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of utilities, scripts, and sample configuration files that to deploy and your Dell system. You can use DTK to build script-based and RPM-based installation for deploying large number of systems on a preoperating system environment in a reliable way, without changing their current deployment processes.
If you have the DTK CD mounted under "/mnt/cdrom," you can extract the DTK RPMs to build your customized ISO image under the "RPMs" folder at the root of the CD. Operating System Requirements Using DTK utilities you can deploy the following Linux operating systems: • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0 (64–bit) • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 (64–bit) • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3 (64–bit) What’s New Note: DTK version 5.0.
Important Notes This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/). SYSCFG • Some options may not be present on all systems, which may be due to the BIOS version or hardware feature set. The usage information generated by running SYSCFG without arguments shows only those options that are valid for your system. • The "--devseq" option is present only if you have an available, bootable hard-disk partition.
SYSCFG Issues • In DRAC 5, the --virtualmedia and --vflash options do not work if there is an active virtual media session. Disconnect the virtual media using the DRAC GUI. Log into DRAC. Click Media > Virtual Media > Disconnect. • The syscfg --bootseq command detects CD-ROM with SAS/SATA controllers as unk.emb.1. • On R815, syscfg power --profile option sets apc. Though apc is not supported on R815, syscfg does not throw an error message.
configured RAID or SCSI controller. Configure the other controllers after you install the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system. • When deploying SUSE Linux Enterprise Server version 11 on PowerEdge M915 using DTK automated script (autoinst.xml), do the following: 1. In device map section, hd0 /dev/sdc change hd0 to /dev/sdc 2. In grub config section, change /dev/sda5 to /dev/sda6 3.
You can use a system BIOS configuration profile generated for all systems belonging to the same generation. For example, "syscfg_xx2x.ini" for 12G systems, and so on. Because of security reasons, the "ssh" and "scp" services are not available in DTK. The mount command is available in the DTK CD. Upgrading From Previous Versions When upgrading from a previous release of the DTK, ensure that you create environment for the new DTK version separately from the previous version of DTK.
