Release Notes

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.xml), do the following:
1) In device map section,
<device_map_entry>
<firmware>hd0</firmware>
<linux>/dev/sdc</linux>
</device_map_entry>
change hd0 to /dev/sdc
2) In grub config section, change /dev/sda5 to /dev/sda6
3) If installer reports any missing packages, delete the packages from autoinst.xml.
Instrumentation Issues
The "/opt/dell/srvadmin" directory in the DTK ISO image should be writable. It enables the
instrumentation services to work properly.
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.com/support."
Installation Procedure
For complete installation and deployment instructions, see the "Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit
User's Guide and the Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit Installation Guide available at
dell.com/openmanagemanuals."."
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. Modify the shell scripts and
configuration files to reflect the unique information for each system being deployed.
Many options are available to optimize this process.
• Because of security reasons, the "ssh" and "scp" services are not available in DTK. The
mount command is available in the DTK CD.
