134 Running Deployment Scripts Using DTK and Embedded Linux
Deployment Using Customized Embedded Linux
Ensure that you have the following basic libraries, Dell toolkit libraries, tools,
and utilities required for DTK to work in your customized Linux deployment
environment (see Table 7-1 for details on files and RPMs to customize your
embedded Linux):
• Drivers for all your hardware installed in your embedded Linux (from the
Dell Support website at
support.dell.com )
• Serial port configuration utilities (
setserial and stty ) for racadm
• Installed and working instrumentation drivers (from /mnt/cdrom/tools )
• Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) tools
• Open Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) drivers
• Basic libraries and utilities for Linux to execute customized scripts
• DTK tools and utilities extracted from the embedded Linux CD
(
/mnt/cdrom/tools/dell.tar.gz)
• Necessary entries in the ld.so.config file so that the libraries get loaded
Integrate all the above mentioned libraries, Dell toolkit libraries, tools, and
utilities into your embedded Linux environment and proceed with deployment.
NOTE: Ensure that the raidcfg executable in the /bin directory is a symbolic link to
the raidcfg in the Dell-provided /lib folder.
NOTE: Refer to start-stage3.sh, start-hapi.sh, or start-raid.sh on /mnt/cdrom/tools
to see how Dell-provided utilities and drivers are loaded.
NOTE: The /opt/dell/srvadmin/shared and /opt/dell/srvadmin/hapi directories
should have Read-Write permissions. Refer to start-stage3.sh and start-hapi.sh
for details.
Using a Third-Party Deployment Solution Framework
You can use the DTK with any existing third-party deployment solution
framework that provides a
PXE booting infrastructure that can be used as the
transport mechanism for the DTK utilities. Because each third-party
deployment framework is unique, however, these solutions fall outside the
scope of this document. If you plan to utilize a third-party deployment
solution framework, keep in mind that the DTK is an embedded Linux-based
set of tools and scripts, so the deployment solution framework must also
support embedded Linux as a pre-operating system environment.
