Dell Openmanage Deployment Toolkit 4.
Release Type and Definition Deployment ToolKit The Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of utilities, scripts, and sample configuration files that to deploy and your Dell system. You can use DTK to build script-based and RPMbased installation for deploying large number of systems on a preoperating system environment in a reliable way, without changing their current deployment processes.
What’s New The new features for this release include: • Support for deployment of Linux operating system in Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) mode. • Using DTK utilities you can deploy the following operating systems: o Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 (64–bit) in BIOS and UEFI mode o Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
It is required to perform a warm reboot after applying the syscfg settings changes on Dell PowerEdge 12G systems. If you perform operations that change the "--redmem" option, reboot your system immediately. It is applicable to both command line and "--infile" usage. NOTE: Additionally, the "--redmem" option should not be issued with any other command and should be immediately followed by a system reboot. This is important when you develop scripts that can alter the "--redmem" setting.
Using the "solcfgparams" option may result in an error message saying "Hardware subsystem error" when an invalid value is used. It does not indicate a problem with the hardware. Check the option value and try again. The "--solbitrate" option in "solcfgparams" and the "--mgscommbitrate" option in "serialcfgparams" accept a baud rate of 57600, but tools such as "ipmish" and "solproxy" do not function at that baud rate for PowerEdge systems.
