Introduction 1 Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of utilities, sample scripts, and sample configuration files to deploy and configure your Dell system. You can use DTK to build script-based and RPM-based installation for deploying a large number of systems reliably, without changing their current deployment processes. You can use DTK in a Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) or a Linux environment.
Supported Systems For a complete list of supported Dell PowerEdge systems, see the Dell Systems Software Support Matrix in the required version of OpenManage Software at dell.com/openmanagemanuals Supported Operating Systems For Windows, the DTK utilities support Windows PE 3.0 (32-bit and 64-bit) and Windows PE 4.0 (64–bit).
RAID Configuration Utility The RAIDCFG utility reports and sets RAID configuration options. RAC Configuration Utility The RACADM utility reports and sets RAC configuration options for Dell Remote Access Controller DRAC 5, iDRAC6, and iDRAC7. Disk Partitioning Utility The UPINIT script creates, formats, and populates a Dell Utility Partition. Replication Of DTK Utilities This section explains the replication of DTK utilities. File Format The -i and -o options use the .
• SYSCFG logs a message in the log file for each option processed in the syscfg.ini file. To generate the log file, use the logfile option. RAID Replication The RAID replication feature reads the RAID configuration information from the source system and creates a raid.ini file. This raid.ini file can be applied to the RAID configurations of the target system. The RAID replication requires both, the source system and the target system to have similar RAID controllers. RACADM Replication The RACREP.
• The Deployment Toolkit release notes (for Windows PE and embedded Linux) which is also available as part of the DTK download, provides the latest available information about the installation and operation of the DTK components and the list of PowerEdge systems supported for this version of DTK.

Command Syntax Overview 2 Syntax refers to the way a command and its parameters are entered. Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) Command Line Interface (CLI) commands can be arranged in any order as long as they conform to the basic command line syntax. DTK Utilities General Usage The following table lists the general usage models of the DTK utilities: Table 1. DTK Utilities Utilities Usage SYSCFG syscfg --option1=[arg1] ... --optionX=[argX] or syscfg bmcoption1 --bmcsuboption1=[arg1]...
Table 2. Command Line Options Element Description - Prefix single character options. NOTE: This delimiter is not applicable to Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) sub-options. -- Prefix multi-character options. utilname Indicates the generic designation for a DTK utility name. o Indicates the generic single-character designation for an option.
Table 3. Command Line Option Delimiters Valid / Invalid DTK Command Line Example valid syscfg --option1 --option2 syscfg --asset --floppy invalid syscfg --option1=argument -option2 --option3 syscfg --asset=R910 --floppy -bootseq valid syscfg -o=filename --option1 -option2 syscfg -o=/tmp/myfile.txt --floppy --bootseq valid syscfg -l=filename --option1 -option2 syscfg -l=/tmp/myfile.txt --floppy --bootseq invalid syscfg -i=filename --option1 -option2 syscfg -i=/tmp/myfile.
Delimiter Example Description backslashes (\\), and the double quotation mark (") is interpreted as a string delimiter. If an odd number of backslashes are syscfg --option="\\ followed by a double quotation mark, \"argument" then one backslash (\) is taken for every pair of backslashes (\\) and the double quotation mark is interpreted as an escape sequence by the remaining backslash, causing a literal double quotation mark (") to be placed in the SYSCFG argument. considers \ "argument as the argument.
Help Option The -h and --help options display general usage information for the utility. If the argument matches a valid option, that usage information of the option is displayed. If the option has arguments, the arguments are displayed, separated by a | character. If the argument does not match a valid option, a usage error is given (and usage information is displayed). This option cannot be replicated.
