Creating Bootable USB
You can create a bootable USB key from the Dell OpenManage media image on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE
Linux Enterprise operating systems.
To create a bootable USB:
1. Plug in the USB key to the system.
NOTE: Make sure that no other USB media is mounted on the system.
NOTE: Make sure that the size of the USB key is more than that of the media image.
2. Insert the Dell OpenManage media in the system.
3. To see all the connected USB media devices, type the following command:
/media/cdrom/server_assistant/driver_tool/src/make_bootable_usb.sh --scan
4. To create the bootable USB media from the Dell OpenManage media, type the following command:
/media/cdrom/server_assistant/driver_tool/src/make_bootable_usb.sh <path-to-
mounted-dvd> <path-to-usb-device>
For example:
/media/cdrom/server_assistant/driver_tool/src/make_bootable_usb.sh /media/
cdrom /dev/sdb
5. Remove the USB key and use this key to boot the target system.
NOTE: If the Linux automount feature is active on the USB device, unmount the USB before removing it.
