Release Notes

Server having GPU add on card on PCI bus hangs during boot time. As a workaround remove the GPU card and reboot.

Installation Prerequisites

Before extracting Deployment Toolkit components, ensure that you have:

● Download the DTK ISO from dell.com/support

● 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.
