Introduction
The OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of utilities, sample scripts, and sample configuration files that you
can use to deploy and configure the Dell systems. You can use DTK to build script-based and RPM-based installation for
deploying large number of systems on a pre-operating system environment in a reliable way, without changing their current
deployment processes. Using DTK you can install operating systems on Dell systems in BIOS or Unified Extensible Firmware
Interface (UEFI) mode.

DTK Deprecation Message
The OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) along with the associated tools and capabilities will be deprecated for version 6.0.1
and later:
● Redundant Array of Independent Disks Configuration (RAIDCFG) Utility
● System Configuration (SYSCFG) Utility
● ELI tool

It is recommended to use the RACADM Command Line (CLI) as a replacement for the RAIDCFG and SYSCFG utilities. For more
information on downloading RACADM, see support.dell.com.

DTK will continue to support any new hardware or operating system for the 14th generation of PowerEdge servers.
However, support for later generations of PowerEdge servers will be deprecated. For more information about features
