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.
NOTE:
Additionally, the --redmem option should not be issued with any other command and should be immediately
followed by a system reboot. This is important when you develop scripts that can alter the --redmem setting.
● For options that use text strings such as username, password, hostname, and community string, using characters such as
<space>, "<," ">," "|," "=" on the command line can be misinterpreted by the command line parser and may cause errors. To
avoid such errors, use only alphanumeric characters.
