Dell Openmanage Deployment Toolkit 5.1.
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 RPMbased installation for deploying large number of systems on a preoperating system environment in a reliable way, without changing their current deployment processes.
Operating Systems Requirements Using DTK utilities you can deploy the following Linux operating systems: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0 (64–bit) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 (64–bit) SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3 (64–bit) SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 (64–bit) What’s New Support for the following: Dell PowerEdge R530XD Dell PowerEdge R930 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
For options that use text strings such as username, password, hostname, and community string, using characters such as , "<," ">," "|," "=" on the command line can be misinterpreted by the command line parser and may cause errors. To avoid such errors, use only alphanumeric characters. If you set the username using syscfg username option, Serial Over Lan (SOL) access for the corresponding user will be enabled by default.
RAIDCFG Issues You can assign up to 10 Global hot spares using Raidcfg. Use the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Storage Management for assigning more than 10 Global hot spares. USB keys should not be mounted to the /tmp directory. Inside the /tmp directory, create a new directory and mount the USB to this. On Dell PERC H310 controllers, conversion of a RAID Capable Disk to Non-RAID disk and vice versa is not supported using raidcfg.
Installation and Configuration Notes The sample scripts are provided as examples for customers who want to develop their own deployment process. Some customers may find that the scripts work well in their environment, while some customers may need to develop their own scripts entirely from scratch. Customers deploying multiple systems to provide unique information for each server when appropriate. For example, system host names, IP addresses, and BIOS asset tags need to be unique for each system.
