For using
DTK utilities and scripts to deploy on a target system:
On systems running Windows, copy or extract
DTK utilities, sample scripts, sample configuration files, and drivers
provided (in the zip file) to the Windows PE image. On systems running
Linux, obtain the DTK Linux ISO image, which is a self-contained bootable
ISO image.
On systems running Windows, organize DTK utilities,
scripts, and configuration files, the operating system installation
files, and the requisite system files and drivers on a network share
or local media. On systems running Linux, use and customize the sample
scripts per your requirements.
Set up an optimally configured source system
by using the Dell Systems Build and Update Utility on the Dell
EMC Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD (to install
your operating system) and the Systems Service and Diagnostics Tools(to load drivers). This source system acts as the master
server that is used to replicate settings to target servers.
NOTE: You can also download the latest drivers from www.dell.com/support.
Generate a system BIOS, BMC (Baseboard Management
Controller), RAID, and/or RAC configuration profile from the optimally
configured source system. Copy the generated configuration files to
a read/write share onto the workstation.
NOTE: You can obtain the system BIOS, BMC, RAID, and/or RAC configuration
files from DTK Windows PE ISO image and running the SYSCAP.BAT,
RAIDCAP.BAT, and RACCAP.BAT scripts
or for Linux from DTK Linux ISO image and running the syscap.sh,
raidcap.sh, and raccap.sh scripts.
NOTE: You can use
a system BIOS configuration profile generated for all systems belonging
to the same generation.
Create an operating system answer file that
contains unattended operating system software installation information.
Edit the DTK sample script files that read
the system configuration files to set up the system BIOS, BMC, RAID,
and RAC and then install an operating system on a target system.
