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.

Copy the generated configuration files to a read/write share onto the workstation or server. NOTE: You can obtain the system BIOS, BMC, RAID, and/or RAC/iDRAC configuration files by booting from DTK Linux ISO image and running the syscap.sh, raidcap.sh, and raccap.sh scripts. 5.
Converting to RACADM and installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Operating System using RACADM scripts CAUTION: Do not change the bootmode before running installation scripts using syscfg. If you do, reboot the system and start running installation scripts. NOTE: See your operating system documentation for instructions on modifying the options in the ks.cfg/ks-rhelx.cfg/ ks_rhelx_uefi.
