Deployment using customized embedded Linux

Make sure that you have the following basic libraries, Dell toolkit libraries, tools, and utilities required for

DTK and integrate them to your embedded Linux deployment environment to proceed with the

deployment:

• Drivers for all hardware installed in the embedded Linux. These drivers are available at www.dell.com/

support.

• Serial port configuration utilities (setserial and stty) for racadm.

• Installed and working instrumentation drivers from /mnt/cdrom/tools.

• Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) tools.

• Basic libraries and utilities for Linux to execute customized scripts.

• Installed DTK and the dependency RPMs.

• Necessary entries in the ld.so.config file so that the libraries are installed.

Integrate all the above mentioned libraries, Dell toolkit libraries, tools, and utilities into your embedded

Linux environment and proceed with deployment.

NOTE: For more information on how Dell‑provided utilities and drivers are installed, see start-

stage3.sh, start-hapi.sh, or start-raid.sh available in /mnt/cdrom/tools.

NOTE: The /opt/dell/srvadmin/sharedand /opt/dell/srvadmin/hapi directories must have read-write

permissions. For more details, see

start-stage3.sh and start-hapi.sh.

Using a third-party deployment solution framework for

systems running Linux

You can use DTK with any existing third-party deployment solution framework that provides a PXE

booting infrastructure that can be used as transport mechanism for the DTK utilities. Because each third-

party deployment framework is unique, these solutions are beyond the scope of this document. If you

plan to utilize a third-party deployment solution framework, make sure that the deployment solution

framework supports embedded Linux as a pre-operating system environment.
