Installation For complete installation and deployment instructions, see the "Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit User's Guide." Installation Prerequisites Before extracting Deployment Toolkit components, ensure that you have: • The DTK ISO image available at support.dell.com. • A workstation that has: • o 512 MB RAM o A writable CD drive and CD-writing software (optional) o Network access A minimum BIOS version is recommended on some of the platforms for all the DTK options to work correctly.
• The "--devseq" option is present only if you have an available, bootable hard-disk partition. If this option is present in the configuration file, but not present on your system, you will receive a usage error. • You may need to reboot your system for certain options to be enabled. Dell recommends you use the "reboot" command on shell prompt or press the "Ctrl+Alt+Del" keys. • It is required to perform a warm reboot after applying the syscfg settings changes on Dell PowerEdge yx2x systems.
• DTK does not support Non RAID (Volume) mode on S100/S300 controller. • S300 controller Cachepolicy setting is "Not Applicable". Hence VD created with different cachepolicy settings from OROM utility will be displayed as "Not Applicable". • USB keys should not be mounted to the /tmp directory. Inside the /tmp directory, create a new directory and mount the USB to this. • On Dell PERC H310 controllers, conversion of a RAID Capable Disk to Non-RAID disk and vice versa is not supported using raidcfg.
• VLAN objects (cfgNicVLanEnable, cfgNicVLanId, and cfgNicVLanPriority) displayed using the local RACADM command "racadm getconfig -g cfgLanNetworking" or VLAN objects generated in the configuration file using the local RACADM command "racadm getconfig -f " do not contain the leading "#" symbol which indicates that they are read-only. Operating System Installation Issues • • • • Installation of legacy Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating systems may fail due to lack of support for new hardware.
