Concept Guide

In addition to the command-line utilities used to configure various system features, the Deployment

Toolkit also provides sample scripts and configuration files to perform common deployment tasks. These

files and scripts describe the use of Deployment Toolkit in Microsoft Windows Pre-installation

Environment (Windows PE), and embedded Linux environments. It helps to:

• Provide the tools necessary to automate the pre-operating system configuration tasks and the

unattended operating system installation tasks when deploying PowerEdge systems.

• Scale to support one-to-many system deployment efforts.

• Facilitate consistent system configurations across multiple systems.

• Provide diverse and useful deployment tools that can be utilized in different ways.

• Manage RAID configuration.
