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 7.1 (64–bit) • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
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.
Known Issues Network limitation: On spanning tree-enabled network, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 operating system installation on Dell Power Edge systems might not be successful due to DHCP client time-out. Workaround: Add “netwait=90” in the boot loader option of the “suseinst.sh” script.
The virtual media should be disabled for SLES 12 OS installation on Dell’s 11th generation of PowerEdge servers. • When deploying SUSE Linux Enterprise Server version 11 on PowerEdge M915 using DTK automated script (autoinst.
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. This step is necessary because the environments and requirements for the new DTK versions are completely different.
