Release Notes

• When deploying SUSE Linux Enterprise Server version 11 on PowerEdge M915 using DTK automated script (autoinst.xml), do the

following:

1. In device map section,

<device_map_entry>

</device_map_entry>

Change hd0 to /dev/sdc

2. In grub config section, change /dev/sda5 to /dev/sda6

3. If installer reports any missing packages, delete the packages from autoinst.xml.

Secure Boot limitation on UEFI mode:

On installation of the operating system in UEFI mode when secure boot BIOS option is enabled, DTK ELI is not supported. This is due to

the CentOS 7.2 core operating system limitation.

Instrumentation Issues

The "/opt/dell/srvadmin" directory in the DTK ISO image should be writable. It enables the instrumentation services to work properly.

DTK tools installation limitation:

DTK tools installation is not supported on CentOS operating system.

RPM installation issue:

During the rpm installation , it displays following error "installing package xxx needs x MB on the / filesystem".

As a workaround , you can use "--ignoresize" option with rpm installation command.

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
