Combining ISO images for SMTD

In the download notes for Systems Management Tools and Documentation is says the installation notes include instructions on how to combine the 2 ISO images on a single DVD.  I've not been able to find the installation notes for this.  If you can provide a location for these notes, i would appreciate it.

On the download page for each DVD ISO image, you will find a section labeled Installation Instructions, which contain the instructions below, but here is about all you need to know:

Download all ISO file segments into an empty subdirectory on your local hard drive.  After you have downloaded all the file segments, run the following command to create the ISO file:

copy /b OM*  OM_6.5.0_SMTD_A01.iso  [Windows]

Full Instructions:

Custom Instructions for OM_6.5.0_SMTD_A01.iso.001:

This is part 1 of 2 of the ISO file.

Download all ISO file segments into an empty subdirectory on your local hard drive.  After you have downloaded all the file segments, run the following command to create the ISO file:

copy /b OM*  OM_6.5.0_SMTD_A01.iso  [Windows]
cat  OM*  > OM_6.5.0_SMTD_A01.iso [Linux]

Note:  If the wildcard format above does not bring the file segments in the right order, run the following command instead to create the ISO file:

copy /b OM_6.5.0_SMTD_A01.iso.001+OM_6.5.0_SMTD_A01.iso.002 OM_6.5.0_SMTD_A01.iso [Windows]

cat OM_6.5.0_SMTD_A01.iso.001  OM_6.5.0_SMTD_A01.iso.002 > OM_6.5.0_SMTD_A01.iso [Linux]


Use your DVD burning software to create a DVD from OM_6.5.0_SMTD_A01.iso.


Custom Instructions for OM_6.5.0_SMTD_A01.iso.002:

These instructions are missing from many Dell ISO segmented downloads. Older versions of OMSA for example. So the answer provided below, while it may seem obvious to many who are familiar with Dell ISO segments, it's a pain when the instructions for many segmented downloads are clearly wrong and do not apply to ISO segments:

Installation instructions

Download
1. Click the Download File link to download the file.
2. When the File Download window appears, click Save to save the file to your hard drive. Extract Files
3. Burn this downloaded ISO into a DVD
4. Boot the DVD on supported Dell PowerEdge Server (as mentioned in platforms affected) and proceed for operating system deployment.
