Preparing the Script Files for

Deployment Using Embedded Linux
This section describes the steps required to use the Deployment Toolkit (DTK)
sample scripts to perform a full deployment of a target system in the
embedded Linux environment.
There are four main tasks:
• Writing the master deployment file and editing the tkenvset.sh script to
set the variable values used in the deployment scripts
• Editing the supporting task scripts, as necessary
• Using the DTK sample scripts to capture basic input/output system (BIOS),
baseboard management controller (BMC), and remote access controller
(RAC) configuration information from an optimally configured source
system
• Preparing the operating system installation scripts and answer files
• Configuring supported RAID controllers

Deployment in Embedded Linux

The Master Deployment File

A scripted DTK deployment relies on the master deployment file to integrate
all the applicable DTK task scripts and utilities and perform pre-operating
system configuration tasks before launching the operating system installation
files. The master deployment file, along with the tkenvset.sh scripts, make up
the master set of instructions that drives the deployment process.
