Network file
system or SMBFS file system based deployment
The procedure
enables you to boot DTK and launch the start-up script automatically
from a network share (NFS or SMBFS).
Obtain the ISO image of the embedded Linux
available at www.dell.com/support.
Extract the contents of the ISO image to a
folder (for example, isoimage) on your hard drive.
Copy the custom script to a share (nfs/smbfs).
In UEFI mode, modify the corresponding shared
section (nfs/smbfs) in EFI/BOOT/dtk_grub.cfg and create iso using mkisofs. For BIOS mode,
modify the corresponding shared section (nfs/smbfs) in isolinux/isolinux.cfg and create iso using mkisofs as follows: mkisofs -o output.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin
-c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table
-pad -r -J -hide-joliet- trans-tbl -eltorito-alt-boot -e efiboot.img
-no-emul-boot isoimage
NOTE: It is important to use mkisofs to make your
customized image because the ISO Linux recognizes only the isolinux.cfg (and all files within /isolinux). If you do not use mkisofs, the HAPI libraries
of the DTK cannot load and most of the Dell Update Packages do not
work.
NOTE: The
scripts that you copy into the media are copied to the RAM disk and
run from the RAM disk. This task is done to make sure that the media
is not locked. Ensure that your sample scripts have valid path names.
Burn the ISO contents to a media.
Your ISO image is ready for booting.
