Important Notes
This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit
(http://www.openssl.org/).
This product carries GNU Bash update packages to fix the Shellshock vulnerability (CVE-2014-7169 and
CVE-2014-6271).
DTK operating system deployment limitation:
DTK does not support operating system deployment, when multiple boot VDs exist on a single controller
or when the server has multiple boot controllers. If multiple boot controllers exist on the server, the
boot VD must be created on any one of the controllers, and the boot VD must be set as first boot
device in system BIOS.
DTK does not support Linux operating system deployment in Non RAID (Volume) and SWRAID
mode on s100/s300/S110/S130 controllers.
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. If this
option is present in the configuration file, but not present on your system, you will receive a
usage error.
 To enable certain options, to reboot your system. Dell recommends you use the "reboot"
command on shell prompt or press the "Ctrl+Alt+Del" keys.
 It is required to perform a warm reboot after applying the syscfg settings changes on Dell’s 12
th
generation of PowerEdge systems.
 If you perform operations that change the "--redmem" option, reboot your system immediately.
It is applicable to both command line and "--infile" usage.
NOTE: Additionally, the "--redmem" option should not be issued with any other command and
should be immediately followed by a system reboot. This is important when you develop scripts
that can alter the "--redmem" setting.
