Introduction
Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of utilities, sample scripts, and sample conguration les to deploy and
congure your Dell system. You can use DTK to build script-based and RPM-based installation for deploying a large number of
systems reliably, without changing their current deployment processes. You can use DTK in a Microsoft Windows Preinstallation
Environment (Windows PE) or a Linux environment.
What is new in this release
The new features for this release include:
• Support for installation and deployment of the following operating systems in BIOS and UEFI modes:
– Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3
– SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP2
– CentOS 7.3
• Support for the following Dell PowerEdge servers:
– PowerEdge C6320p
• Optional support for force option in Resetting the Controller under the RAID conguration Utility options and arguments.
NOTE: For the list of supported operating systems and Dell servers, see the
Dell Systems Software Support Matrix
at
dell.com/openmanagemanuals.
NOTE: Use both DTK and the Server Administrator from the same release version to get complete supported features of
Server Administrator.
SYSCFG equivalent RACADM commands
The DTK SYSCFG deployment scripts are converted to equivalent RACADM scripts, that helps in migration to utilize RACADM in the
deployment solution. Starting 12th generation of PowerEdge servers and later, selected set of SYSCFG commands are a part of the
DTK sample scripts. The utility has the conversion tool for converting the SYSCFG scripts in both environments Microsoft Windows
and Linux operating systems. The list of DTK sample scripts are present in \Toolkit\Tools\CONVERTER\ windows_scripts.lst for
Microsoft Windows operating systems and toolkit/Converter/ linux_scripts.lst for Linux operating system. The converted scripts
are available in the folder racscripts. The set of converted commands are available in dtktoracadm_dict.map.
The following table lists the set of commands:
