Running Deployment Scripts Using DTK and Embedded Linux
3
Set up the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) services and the Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) services on your network to boot the
target system using Pre-Boot Execution Environment (PXE).
4
Copy the contents of the embedded Linux DTK ISO image ( SA.1 , SA.2 ,
and isolinux.cfg ) from /mnt/cdrom/isolinux to the
tftp
folder.
5
The isolinux.cfg file has various boot options. Select the method you want,
and edit the isolinux.cfg file for the following:
• IP address of the network share
• Share path of the network share
• Name of your startup script
6
The isolinux.cfg file is ready for PXE-booting. Copy this isolinux.cfg file
into the PXE configuration folder.
7
Create your own start-up script and place it in the network share specified
in your modified
isolinux.cfg file.
8
The modified script is picked up and executed during the boot process.
NOTE:
The network share on which you have the scripts and DTK files are mounted
to /opt/dell/toolkit/systems .
NOTE:
Ensure that you specify the correct RAMDISK size in the pxe config file
before booting through PXE. (A sample pxe config file is provided in
/mnt/cdrom/isolinux/isolinux.cfg .)
CD-Based Deployment
1
Obtain the ISO image of the embedded Linux available on the
Dell Support website at
support.dell.com .
2
Burn the ISO image using any commonly available CD burning software.
NOTE:
When you create a bootable CD, this image is supplied to the CD
burning software along with the complete deployment directory structure,
which includes all necessary supporting files to perform the deployment.
The CD burning software creates an image of the self-bootable ISO image
and the deployment files on the CD.
3
Extract the contents of the ISO image to a folder on your hard drive.
