Creating Operating System Installation Directories For Systems Running Supported Linux Operating Systems

  • NOTE: The following procedures are provided as a best practices guideline for creating operating system distribution folders compatible with DTK sample scripts. For complete instructions on setting up an installation directory structure for an unattended installation, see your operating system documentation.

For deployment on systems running supported Linux operating systems, copy the ISO images for the operating system installation to a folder on your network (for example, /linuxboot). This folder must be accessible after DTK completes its tasks.

Also, copy the following into the /linuxboot folder:
  • kernel image (from the Linux operating system media)
  • initial ramdisk from the Dell Systems Build and Update Utility on the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD
For a sample directory structure for deployment on a supported Linux operating system, see the following figure:
Sample DTK Directory Structure for Linux
  • NOTE: If you choose to create a directory structure for the Linux installation files that is different from the one suggested in this guide, be sure to carefully review and edit each sample script (where necessary) to reflect the different directory structure.
