1 Introduction Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of utilities, sample scripts, and sample configuration files to deploy and configure your Dell system. You can use DTK to build script-based and RPM-based installation for deploying a large number of systems reliably, without changing their current deployment processes. You can use DTK in a Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) or a Linux environment.
○ Mellanox ConnectX-6 Single Port HDR QSFP56 PCIE Adapter NOTE: For the list of supported operating systems and Dell servers, see the Dell Systems Software Support Matrix at dell.com/openmanagemanuals. NOTE: Use both DTK and the Server Administrator from the same release version to get complete supported features of Server Administrator.

● Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Foundation, Essentials, Standard, and Datacenter editions ● Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Foundation, Essentials, and Standard editions ● Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Essentials, Standard, and Datacenter editions For Linux, the DTK utilities support deploying the following operating systems in BIOS and UEFI mode: ● SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 (64-bit) ● Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6 (64-bit) ● Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
File Format The -i and -o options use the .ini file format for system configuration (SYSCFG) options. All name/value entries that follow the [syscfg] section header in the .ini file belong to the SYSCFG utility. For an example of the syscfg.ini file, see Sample SYSCFG Utility .ini File Format. SYSCFG Replication Rules Not all BIOS and BMC options can be replicated using the .ini file. For example, boot sequence and device sequence are only replicated if a device name list can be supplied.
● The Dell OpenManage Installation Guide provides additional information about performing an unattended installation of Dell OpenManage Server Administrator on systems running supported Windows, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Citrix Xen Server operating systems. ● The Dell OpenManage Server Administrator User's Guide provides information on using Server Administrator on supported operating systems.
Dell provides several online and telephone-based support and service options. Availability varies by country and product, and some services may not be available in your area. To contact Dell for sales, technical support, or customer service issues: 1. Visit www.dell.com/support . 2. Select your support category. 3. If you are not a U.S customer, select your country code at the bottom of the page, or select All to see more choices. 4. Select the appropriate service or support link based on your need.
2 Command Syntax Overview Syntax refers to the way a command and its parameters are entered. Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) Command Line Interface (CLI) commands can be arranged in any order as long as they conform to the basic command line syntax.
The DTK command line switches, configuration file formatting, and error reporting follow similar style and behavior. However, individual DTK utilities can sometimes differ from one another in significant ways. You must familiarize yourself with the command line syntax and utility-specific options and arguments for each utility before using DTK. NOTE: Some of the command line options in DTK are followed by an asterisk. Such options are used for reporting purposes only.
Case Sensitivity ● Command line options, pre-defined and user-defined arguments, and filenames given as arguments are all case-sensitive on PowerEdge systems prior to PowerEdge 12G systems. ● Unless specified otherwise, enter all commands, options, arguments, and command line switches in lowercase letters. Command Line Option Delimiters The following table lists some examples of valid and invalid DTK command lines. Table 4.
Table 5. Other delimiters (continued) Delimiter A string surrounded by double quotation marks regardless of the white space contained within, is interpreted as a single SYSCFG argument. Example syscfg --option="argument1 argument2" Description considers argument1 and argument2 a single argument. A double quotation mark preceded by a backslash (\") is interpreted as a literal double quotation mark ("). Backslashes are interpreted literally, unless they immediately precede a double quotation mark.
Log Files If the log file already exists, information is appended to the file. This allows multiple tools to use the same log file to record information. Use the -l option to record the output of a utility. The log duplicates all standard output and error information to the specified file. Each log file begins with a time stamp and utility name. For example, YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS < utilname > -
3 DTK Seamless package The DTK Seamless package is a single installer package that carries Linux DTK RPMs (RHEL, SLES) and its dependency. Topics: • Seamless package — Downloading and Installing Seamless package — Downloading and Installing This section describes the downloading and installing of DTK seamless package. The seamless package auto recognizes the OS type and its respective dependency during the installation and installs SYSCFG, RAIDCFG, and RACADM tools on post Linux operating system.
The seamless package uninstalls the older DTK tool set version, and upgrades it to a newer version if Server Administrator is not present in the system.
4 SYSCFG This section documents the Deployment Toolkit (DTK) system configuration utility. It describes the command line parameters, configuration file format, and individual executables used to configure server BIOS and Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) settings, DTK state settings, and system information including PCI device detection.

Example: A:>syscfg --ix filename.xml NOTE: You can modify or use the BIOS configuration captured in xml format from a PowerEdge server for large scale deployment configurations using RACADM or WS-MAN.
Table 14. SYSCFG General — ox or outxmlfile (continued) Example: A:>syscfg --ox filename.ini ovrwrt Table 15. SYSCFG General — ovrwrt Valid Arguments NA Description Used with the -o option to cause the output file to be overwritten if a file of the same name already exists. This option cannot be replicated.

A Identifying the series of your Dell EMC PowerEdge servers The PowerEdge series of servers form Dell EMC are divided into different categories on the basis of their configuration. For easier reference, they are referred to as YX2X, YX3X, YX4X, YX4XX, or YX5XX series of servers. The structure of the naming convention is described below: The letter Y denotes the alphabets in the server model number. The alphabets denote the form factor of the server.
