OpenManage Deployment Toolkit
NOTE: This tool is deprecated.
The OpenManage Deployment Toolkit includes a set of utilities for configuring and deploying PowerEdge systems. It is designed
for customers who want to build scripted installations to deploy large numbers of servers without making many changes to their
current deployment process.
In addition to the command-line utilities used to configure various system features, the Deployment Toolkit also provides sample
scripts and configuration files to perform common deployment tasks. These files and scripts describe the use of Deployment
Toolkit in Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE), and embedded Linux environments
The OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) along with the associated tools and capabilities will be deprecated for version 6.0.1
and later:
Redundant Array of Independent Disks Configuration (RAIDCFG) Utility
System Configuration (SYSCFG) Utility
ELI tool
Utility Partition (UPINIT)
It is recommended to use the RACADM Command Line (CLI) as a replacement for the RAIDCFG and SYSCFG utilities. For more
information on downloading RACADM, see https://www.dell.com/support.
NOTE: DTK is not supported on future platforms beyond the current 14th generation of Dell PowerEdge Servers. DTK
will be sustained for current and earlier supported platforms until those platforms pass their end of support life (EOSL)
threshold. The last release for DTK is the version 6.3. The end of support for DTK will coincide with the end-of-support-life
(EOSL) date for PowerEdge 14th generation platforms.
