Introduction

Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of utilities, sample scripts, and sample

configuration files to deploy and configure your Dell system. You can use DTK to build script-based and

RPM-based installation for deploying a large number of systems reliably, without changing their current

deployment processes. You can use DTK in a Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows

PE) or a Linux environment.

What is new in this release

The new features for this release include:

• DTK Seamless package — The DTK Seamless package is a single installer package that carries Linux

DTK RPMs (RHEL, SLES) and its dependencies. The seamless package will auto recognize the

operating system type and its respective dependency during the installation. The SYSCFG, RAIDCFG,

and RACADM tools are installed on the Linux operating system. However, these packages are available

only after Linux operating system is installed. For more information, see DTK Seamless package.

• DTK to RACADM - A utility added to seamlessly convert the DTK SYSCFG deployment scripts to

equivalent RACADM scripts to utilize RACADM in the deployment solution. This release covers some

more selected sets of the SYSCFG commands, which are part of the DTK sample scripts. For more

information, see DTKTORACADM.
