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.
* Maximum Device Link Rate * Negotiated Link Rate * Secured State * Encryption Capability NOTE: For more details on array disk enumeration, see Enumerating Array Disks.
For Linux, the DTK utilities support deploying the following operating systems: • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 (64-bit) in BIOS and UEFI mode • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.9 (64-bit and 32-bit) in BIOS mode • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3 (64-bit) in BIOS and UEFI mode You can install the DTK Linux RPM utilities on the following operating systems: • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 (64-bit) • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
File Format The -i and -o options use the .ini file format for system configuration (SYSCFG) options. All name/value entries that follow the [syscfg] section header in the .ini file belong to the SYSCFG utility. For an example of the syscfg.ini file, see Sample SYSCFG Utility .ini File Format. SYSCFG Replication Rules Not all BIOS and BMC options can be replicated using the .ini file. For example, boot sequence and device sequence are only replicated if a device name list can be supplied.
be passed to this file, which specifies the IP address used in configuring the RAC. The raccfg.ini file is generated with the RACCAP.BAT sample script. Other Documents You May Need In addition to this guide, you can access the following guides available at dell.com/support/manuals. • The Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit Installation Guide provides information about installing and deploying DTK on supported Dell systems. The guide is also available as part of the DTK download.

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]...
Command Line Syntax The following table lists the generic command line characters and arguments present in the command line options with a short description of these characters. 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.
• Unless specified otherwise, enter all commands, options, arguments, and command line switches in lowercase letters. Command Line Option Delimiters The following table lists some examples of valid and invalid DTK command lines. Table 3.
Delimiter Example Description interpreted as a literal double quotation mark ("). syscfg --option="\ Backslashes are interpreted literally, unless they immediately \"argument" precede a double quotation mark. If an even number of backslashes are followed by a double quotation mark, then one backslash (\) is taken for every pair of backslashes (\\), and the double quotation mark (") is interpreted as a string delimiter. considers \ and argument as two arguments.
Log Files If the log file already exists, information is appended to the file. This allows multiple tools to use the same log file to record information. Use the -l option to record the output of a utility. The log duplicates all standard output and error information to the specified file. Each log file begins with a time stamp and utility name. For example, YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS < utilname > -
SYSCFG 3 This section documents the Deployment Toolkit (DTK) system configuration utility. It describes the command line parameters, configuration file format, and individual executables used to configure server BIOS and Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) settings, DTK state settings, and system information including PCI device detection. Features The SYSCFG utility: • Displays help and usage information. • Outputs configuration options to a file or screen.
No Option Valid Arguments NA Description The SYSCFG utility displays the usage information. --envar Valid Arguments Description Stores the environment variable data to a file when used with the – s option. This file can be called from other scripts to set the environment variable. The value of must not be specified if the DTKENVSCR environment variable is set to a valid filename.
Example: A:>syscfg -h lanchannelaccess lanchannelaccess: Reports LAN channel access information. Sub-options: pefalerting: Enable or disable PEF (Platform Event Filter)alerting. Arguments: enable | disable ipmioverlan: Enable or disable IPMI over LAN access.

This option cannot be replicated. Example: A:>syscfg -o=filename.ini --ovrwrt The file filename has been overwritten. --px or --pendingxmlfile Valid Arguments Description Prints all the pending BIOS options to a specified xml file. NOTE: It is applicable only on 12G and later sytems.

Purpose Command Description NOTE: The minimum number of drives required to create a virtual disk of RAID 60 is 8. To view all the virtual disks in a system raidcfg vdisk Lists the virtual disks on a system for all RAID controllers. To view all the virtual disks for a specific controller raidcfg vdisk c=slotid Lists all the virtual disks on a specific controller. The slot ID in <-c=slotid> is obtained from the first commands.
UPINIT 5 The UPINIT utility allows to create a utility partition (UP) on a hard drive, format the partition, and extract the partition contents onto the disk. Features The UPINIT utility: • Displays help and usage information. • Returns specific error codes and messages. NOTE: In Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE), you can find the UPINIT utility in \DELL\TOOLKIT\TEMPLATES\SCRIPTS.
On systems running Windows, UPINIT looks for the following files: • createup.cfg , mountup.cfg , umountup.cfg , and listup.cfg in the DELL\TOOLKIT\TEMPLATE\SCRIPTS directory • sysdrmk.exe in the DELL\TOOLKIT\TOOLS directory UPINIT Options And Arguments Table below lists the valid options and arguments for the UPINIT utility. Table 37. UPINIT Options and Arguments Option Valid Arguments Description none none If no options are given, the tool outputs usage information.
Option Valid Arguments Description found under /opt/dell/toolkit/systems folder in the Deployment Toolkit ISO. For more information, please consult the Deployment Toolkit Documentation. Usage: upinit.bat [--overwrite] --disk=ID or -d=ID --size=size or -s=size --file=file or -f=file --help or -h prints usage. --disk or -d ID of the disk on which to create the Dell Utility Partition. --size or -s Size in MB for the Dell Utility Partition. --file or -f Filename of the Dell Utility Partition Image File.
Option Valid Arguments Description Example: upinit --disk=/dev/sda --size=32 -file=upimg.bin In the example, upinit creates a Dell Utility Partition of size 32 MB on /dev/sda using the upimg.bin file. The --overwrite option should be used for upgrading/ downgrading purposes. The --size option is not required when using the --overwrite option because the --overwrite option does not resize an existing Dell Utility Partition. If any partitions exist, they are not deleted.
