Creating Dell Configuration Bundles - Novell ZENWORKS LINUX MANAGEMENT 7.3 IR2 - ADMINISTRATION GUIDE 02-12-2010 Administration Manual

This service must be available so that the device's PXE can access files from the ZENworks
server, such as the Preboot Services Menu and Dell DTK (Maintenance Mode).
2 Boot a Dell device that is PXE-enabled and press the Ctrl-Alt keys during booting.
Press these keys when a string starting with "Novell ..." is displayed during the boot process.
IMPORTANT: Choose the correct device to boot for creating the DRAC 4 file. The devices to
receive the update must be the same as the device you are using to configure the file. For
example, if the boot device is a Dell 2950, then the configured file can only be used to update
other Dell 2950 devices.
3 When the bash (#) prompt is displayed, execute the following script:
/opt/dell/toolkit/template/scripts/raccap.sh
4 While the script is running, provide a name for the DRAC 4 or earlier configuration file.
The DRAC configuration file is saved in your current directory.
WARNING: Do not reboot the device at this time, because the file you created is in a RAM
drive. (You can safely reboot after you upload the file to the TFTP server.)
5 To upload the new configuration file to your ZENworks TFTP server, enter:
tftp -l local_DRAC_filename -r remote_DRAC_filename_and_path -p $TFTPIP
where
local_DRAC_filename
remote_DRAC_filename_and_path
file on your ZENworks server.
However, the path on the ZENworks server for the remote filename should be relative to the
TFTP server's home path, because the remote file is placed in that location. The Dell
Configuration bundle is designed to look for files relative to the TFTP server's home path.
