Owner's Manual

Using Repository Manager in Server Mode 39
Deployment Media to update systems irrespective of the operating system
installed on them. It can be used to update systems that do
not have an operating system installed.
The Deployment Media option exports the bundles as
ISO images. You can burn these ISO images to a CD, and
boot the CD on the systems that you want to update with
the latest bundles. This option is available for deployment
only if you select Linux custom bundles.
This ISO image uses DTK Linux Kernel to execute the
DUPs and update the system.
If the deployment media(ISO) is created using multiple
base lines(bundles), all the base lines are displayed on the
console when you boot the server through the media. To
start the execution, enter the number corresponding to the
required baseline and press Enter. For example, if M710 is
the second in the list, press 2 and apply the bundle.
If the deployment media is created using a single base line
(bundle), execution automatically starts when you boot
the server through the media.
When a deployment folder is created, a new Readme.html
is created with the bundles in the location you provided.
The readme file describes the contents of the deployment
kit such as platform included, operating system (OS), and
information about components.
NOTE: If you select Windows bundles, the bundles are
skipped.
You can also customize the Dell default script or add your
own scripts for deployment. For more information, see
Customizing the Script for Deployment .
