Dell Openmanage Deployment Toolkit 5.
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.
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.
On R815, syscfg power --profile option sets apc. Though apc is not supported on R815, syscfg does not throw an error message. The option for "powerctl," "softshutdown," causes your system to reboot. If you use a customized kernel with Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) support, this option will work as designed. Using the "solcfgparams" option may result in an error message saying "Hardware subsystem error" when an invalid value is used.
Installation Prerequisites Before extracting Deployment Toolkit components, ensure that you have: The DTK ISO image available at dell.com/support. A workstation that has 512 MB RAM A writable CD drive and CD-writing software (optional) Network access A minimum BIOS version is recommended on some of the platforms for all the DTK options to work properly. In general, it is a good practice to use the latest ("n") version of BIOS firmware or the "n-1" version that is available on "dell.
