Preparing Embedded Linux Environment for Deployment

If you are using the embedded Linux environment:
  1. Obtain the DTK Linux ISO image, which is a self-contained bootable ISO image.
  2. Use and customize the sample scripts as per your requirements.
  3. Set up a Source System by using the Systems Build and Update Utility on the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD (to install your operating system) and the Systems Service and Diagnostics Tools (to load drivers).
    • NOTE: You can also download the latest drivers from the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.
  4. Generate a system BIOS, BMC, RAID, and/or RAC/iDRAC configuration profile from the optimally configured source system. Copy the generated configuration files to a read/write share onto the workstation or server.
    • NOTE: You can obtain the system BIOS, BMC, RAID, and/or RAC/iDRAC configuration files by booting from DTK Linux ISO image and running the syscap.sh, raidcap.sh, and raccap.sh scripts.
  5. Create an operating system answer file that contains unattended operating system software installation information.
  6. Install an operating system on a Target Server.
