Owner's Manual

Windows in the .bat format and Linux in the .sh format. You can then run the .bat and .sh scripts on Microsoft

Windows and Linux systems respectively.

When a deployment folder is created, a new Readme.html is added. The Readme file describes what the

deployment kit contains, like supported platforms, operating system, and information about components.

NOTE: You can edit these scripts to add or remove components of you choice.

• Deployment Media (Using Linux Bundle) - Updates the system 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 bundle(s) as ISO images. You can burn these ISO images to a CD and

boot the CD, or create a bootable USB key on the systems that you want to update with the latest bundle(s). This

option is available for deployment only if you select Linux custom bundle(s). This ISO image uses Deployment

Media Linux Kernel to execute the DUPs and update the system. The update package is compatible only when

you select Linux bundles and components.

If the server you boot through the deployment media (ISO) does not supported by any base lines (bundle(s) on

this media, all the base lines are displayed on the console. To force 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 system you boot through deployment media is supported by one base line (bundle), execution

automatically starts.

When a deployment folder is created, a new Readme.html is created within the ISO file along with the bundle(s)

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 a Windows bundle(s), the bundle(s) are skipped.

You can also customize the Dell default script or add your own scripts for deployment.

• Export as SUU - Exports a selected Dell recommended or custom bundle as a fully functional SUU.
