Important Notes

This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/).

DTK operating system deployment limitation:

DTK does not support operating system deployment, when multiple boot VDs exist on a single controller or when the server has multiple

boot controllers. If multiple boot controllers exist on the server, the boot VD must be created on any one of the controllers, and the boot

VD must be set as first boot device in system BIOS.

On debranded or rebranded servers, Deployment toolkit is not supported.

NOTE:

During booting WInPE ISO image for Windows PE 5.1 and Windows PE 10.0 user will not be prompted for entering any

key to continue.

SYSCFG

• Some options may not be present on all systems, which may be due to the BIOS version or hardware feature set. The usage

information generated by running SYSCFG without arguments shows only those options that are valid for your system.

• The --devseq option is present only if you have an available, bootable hard-disk partition. If this option is present in the configuration

file, but not present on your system, you will receive a usage error.

• It is required to perform a warm reboot after applying the SYSCFG settings changes on Dell PowerEdge 12th generation of

PowerEdge systems.

• If you perform operations that change the "--redmem" option, reboot your system immediately. It is applicable to both command line

and "--infile" usage.
