Preparing the Directory Structure for Deployment in Microsoft Windows PE
53
You can use the Systems Build and Update Utility and Systems Service and
Diagnostics Tools available on the Dell Systems Management Tools and
Documentation DVD supplied with your system to streamline the operating
system installation; to setup and configure your system, including automatic
discovery and configuration of Dell-provided RAID controllers and network
adapters; to access and load the latest utilities, drivers, and diagnostics for your
system; and to install Dell OpenManage™ systems management software.
NOTE:
You can also obtain the latest drivers from the Dell Support website at
support.dell.com.
For complete information about using the Systems Build and Update Utility
and Systems Service and Diagnostics Tools on the Dell Systems Management
Tools and Documentation DVD , see the Dell OpenManage Software Quick
Installation Guid
e, which is available on the Dell Support website at
support.dell.com .
After you have loaded the operating system and all applicable device drivers
from the
Systems Build and Update Utility and Systems Service and
Diagnostics Tools, check the Dell Support website at support.dell.com for the
latest drivers. Put all necessary drivers to be used in the deployment in the
system directory for the target system. For example, if your target system is a
PowerEdge 1850, put all necessary files in the
Z:\Dell\Toolkit\Systems\pe1850
directory; or if your target system is a PowerEdge 850, put all necessary files in
the
Z:\Dell\Toolkit\Systems\pe0850 directory.
RAC Configuration
Configure the RAC on your source system using the RACADM.EXE utility,
if applicable. See the Dell Remote Access Controller Racadm User's Guide for
comprehensive information about using the RACADM.EXE utility to
configure the RAC on your source system.
After you have successfully prepared your directory structure for a deployment
and fully configured your source system, you are ready to write, review, or edit
the deployment sample scripts. For instructions on editing the sample scripts
necessary to run a full deployment, see "Preparing the Script Files for
Deployment Using Microsoft Windows PE."
