10 Getting Started With Dell Update Packages
OpenIPMI Requirements
Certain DUPs may require the latest OpenIPMI Linux device drivers to be
installed on your system. If you are prompted during installation to obtain the
latest drivers, see the Dell Support website at support.dell.com, or visit the
support site for your Linux operating system to download the latest drivers.
Using DUPs in the DTK Pre-Operating System
Environment
The Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes utilities, sample
scripts, and other tools for configuring and deploying Dell systems. DTK is
released in two versions: the Linux version is distributed as an Embedded
Linux
-based ISO, and the Windows
®
Preinstallation Environment
(Windows PE) version is distributed as a package of Dell
-provided content
with instructions on how to integrate with a standard Windows PE image.
Booting the CD created from the ISO image creates a Toolkit folder which
contains subdirectories with the necessary files to perform deployment tasks.
NOTE: Currently, DUPs are supported only in the DTK embedded Linux
environment.
The bootable DTK embedded Linux environment is required for bare-metal
(or pre-operating system) DUP execution and is bootable from many types of
media and does not require the local disk. It allows users to use Linux DUPs
for change management.
Users can boot to the system under the DTK embedded Linux Environment
and execute the package from either a network drive, a USB device
supporting Linux file systems, or a CD drive, with the following options:
Interactive Mode:
./packagename
Non
-Interactive Mode:
./packagename -q
or
./packagename -q -r
