Depending on which dialog box you accessed, you can either add a new DellDTK Configuration bundle action to the current bundle’s Preboot actions or edit an existing DellDTK Configuration image. You can configure the specific requirements that a device must meet for the action to be executed on the device.
Specify a name in the Action Name field.
Configure the configuration scripts:
BIOS/BMC/DRAC 5 Configuration File: Specify the path and filename of the BIOS, BMC (Base Management Controller), or DRAC 5 (Dell Remote Access Controller 5) configuration file. The path must be relative to the TFTP server's home directory. Do not specify the tftp directory or any of the path that precedes it.
NOTE:This bundle option configures the BIOS, BMC, or DRAC 5 only; it cannot be used to update them. This option is applicable only for the Dell devices that support the DRAC 5 card.
RAID Configuration Script: Specify the path and filename of the RAID configuration script relative to the TFTP server's home directory. Do not specify the TFTP directory or any of the path that precedes it.
DRAC Configuration Script: Specify the DRAC path and filename of the configuration file relative to the TFTP server's home directory. Do not specify the tftp directory or any of the path that precedes it. This option is applicable for the Dell devices that support DRAC card versions prior to version 5.
For information on how to create these files, see Section 3.7.1, Creating Dell Configuration Scripts and Files.
Configure Dell utility partition.
To create a new Dell utility partition, select the Create Dell Utility Partition check box, then fill in the fields.
WARNING:If you use this option, all the existing partitions on the target disk are replaced by the Dell utility partition. However, you can select the Overwrite Existing Dell Utility Partition check box to only update an existing Dell utility partition. In that case, all existing partitions are retained and the Dell server diagnostics utility files are written to the existing Dell utility partition using the entry that you provide in the File option.
You cannot use a ZENworks partition for the same purpose as the Dell utility partition. However, both a Dell utility partition and a ZENworks partition can exist on the same server, with each partition being used for its own purposes.
Partition Size: This partition requires 32 MB for the Dell server diagnostics utilities. This option is only used when creating a new Dell utility partition.
Target Disk: This is the disk's identifier, such as /dev/hda. This ID is used to determine the disk for creating the new partition, or for updating an existing partition.
File: Specify the path to the Dell utility partition file. The path must be relative to the TFTP server's home directory.
The file is written to the partition in the process of creating a new partition or when updating an existing partition.
Dell utility partition files are available on the Dell Installation and Server management CD. For example, for a PowerEdge 1850 system, the file is at d:\server_assistant\pe1850\upimg.bin. Copy the necessary files from the CD to a path relative to the TFTP server's home directory for use in this option.
Overwrite Existing Dell Utility Partition: If a Dell utility partition already exists on the selected target disk, select this check box to update the partition with the latest utility files instead of replacing the partition.
