Installing DTK RPMs using DTK tools

To install DTK RPMs using DTK tools:

1. Mount the DTK media at /mnt/cdrom.

2. Navigate to the /mnt/cdrom/SYSMGMT/dtktools/ directory.

NOTE: The /mnt/cdrom/SYSMGMT/dtktools directory contains all DTK RPMs and the dependency RPMs.

3. Install the required DTK RPMs using dtktools-setup.sh.

NOTE: To resolve the RPM dependency-related issues, install the missing RPMs from the /mnt/cdrom/SYSMGMT/

srvadmin/linux/RPMS directory. If the RPMs are not available in this directory, install these RPMs from the

operating system media.

Post installation of RPMs

After installing the RPMs, perform the following:

1. For the binaries syscfg and raidcfg, export the PATH environment variable /opt/dell/toolkit/bin.

2. To start the services, navigate to /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin, and type: srvadmin-services.sh start

NOTE: If the services are already running, restart the services.

NOTE: To execute the commands to congure the system as per the requirements, see the

Dell EMC OpenManage

Deployment Toolkit Command Line Interface Reference Guide

available at dell.com/openmanagemanuals.

Deployment using USB

1. Download the ISO image of the embedded Linux from www.dell.com/support.

2. Download any third-party USB creator tool.

3. Install and launch the tool.

4. Select the downloaded ISO image, and select the option to convert the image to a bootable USB format.

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 conguration 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.cong le 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
