Change hd0 to /dev/sdc

Secure Boot limitation on UEFI mode:
On installation of the operating system in UEFI mode when secure boot BIOS option is enabled, DTK ELI is not supported. This is due to
the CentOS 6.5 core operating system limitation.
Instrumentation Issues
The "/opt/dell/srvadmin" directory in the DTK ISO image should be writable. It enables the instrumentation services to work properly.
DTK tools installation limitation:
DTK tools installation is not supported on CentOS operating system.
Installation Prerequisites
Before extracting Deployment Toolkit components, ensure that you have:
• 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
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.
