Hi,
These are sample kickstart files for creating a Linux based
Live-ISO including DSU utility in it. You can use this with livecd-creator or
any other bootable ISO creation utility which supports kickstart files.
1. The sample_centos_base.ks, is a basic kickstart file which includes
dsu utility in resulting bootable ISO. Once booted, dsu can be executed from
bash shell with various options (use dsu --help for complete options)
2. The sample_centos_nfs.ks demonstrates how to invoke dsu in
non-interactive mode upon boot from a live-cd environment and stores the log
file in a mounted NFS share.
Example:
livecd-creator --config=sample_centos_base.ks
--fslabel=centos7
The configurations in this sample files need to be changed
according to the package selection and scripting needs of user environment.

Subject: [Linux-PowerEdge] elaborate on DSU sample kickstart files
I see there are some sample kickstart files here, supposedly for helping create
bootable ISO images to run dsu.
http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/sampleks/
Can someone point to additional documentation or explain in more detail how one
uses these files? Are these meant to be added to an existing CentOS 7
netinstall image?
I guess I don't understand the process on how one can update a server using
these kickstart files. I have a server setup to kickstart systems using PXE,
but the above kickstart files would delete the existing data on the servers!
