Reference Guide

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 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.
