Installation and Configuration Notes

•

The sample scripts are provided as examples for customers who want to develop their own

deployment process. Some customers may find that the scripts work well in their environment,

while some customers may need to develop their own scripts entirely from scratch. Customers

deploying multiple systems to provide unique information for each server when appropriate. For

example, system host names, IP addresses, and BIOS asset tags need to be unique for each

system. Modify the shell scripts and configuration files to reflect the unique information for each

system being deployed. Many options are available to optimize this process.

•

You can use a system BIOS configuration profile generated for all systems belonging to the

same generation. For example, "syscfg_xx2x.ini" for Dell’s 12

generation of PowerEdge systems,

and so on.

•

Because of security reasons, the "ssh" and "scp" services are not available in DTK. The mount

command is available in the DTK CD.

Upgrading From Previous Versions

When upgrading from a previous release of the DTK, ensure that you create environment for the

new DTK version separately from the previous version of DTK. This step is necessary because the

environments and requirements for the new DTK versions are completely different.
