Editing The Default Partition Configuration Values

Perform the following steps to edit the default partition configuration default values, as necessary:

1. Edit the default utility partitioning variable (DT_PARTN_UP), if necessary. Set this variable f you want

to install the Dell utility partition.

2. Edit the default variable value for the default hard drive (DT_HD for Windows and DT_HD for Linux),

if applicable.

NOTE: Ensure that the default variable value for DT_HD is set to a valid non‑removable disk,

and not to removable media such as virtual media.

3. Edit the default variable value (DT_DP_SIZE in MB for BIOS mode and DT_DP_SIZE_GPT in MiB for

UEFI mode) for the primary operating system partition, if applicable.

4. Edit the default variable value for file system type ( DT_OS_FSTYPE), if applicable.

NOTE: The valid values are FAT32 and NTFS.

5. If the DT_PARTN_UP variable is set to ON, edit the default variable value (in MB) for the utility

partition (DT_UP_SIZE), if applicable.

6. If the DT_PARTN_UP variable is set to ON, edit the default variable value for the utility partition

installation package location (DT_UP_IMAGE=%DT_SYSTEMS%\UPIMG.BIN for Windows and

DT_UP_IMAGE=$dt_systems/upimg.bin for Linux), if applicable.

NOTE: Edit the UPIMG_BIN variable only if you have changed the name or path of the utility

partition installation package.

Editing DTK Task Scripts

The task scripts called by the master batch file do not require any edits (with the following exceptions) if

the default variable values are utilized in the TKENVSET.BAT or tkenvset.sh scripts. However, if you make

any changes to the default values set by the TKENVSET.BAT or tkenvset.sh, you must make the same edits

to the matching default values set in the appropriate task scripts. Locate the USER MODIFICATION

REQUIRED heading in the task scripts to find the variable values you may need to edit. Each of the

following task scripts can be called by the user-written master batch script during a full deployment:

• RACREP.BAT or racrep.sh

• RAIDCFG.BAT or raidcfg.sh

• SYSREP.BAT or sysrep.sh

• PARTCFG.BAT or partcfg.sh

RACREP.BAT Or racrep.sh

The RACREP.BAT or racrep.sh sample script applies RAC options to the target system based on

configuration information that has been saved in the configuration file. User input is optional, depending

on the variables set in the RACREP.BAT or racrep.sh sample script. On systems running Windows,

RACREP.BAT script uses RACADM.EXE to configure RAC in the target system. On systems running Linux

the racrep.sh script uses racadm wrapper script or the syscfg utility (depending on the version of RAC on

your system) to configure RAC in the target system. The raccfg.ini is passed as the first parameter to these

scripts. If this parameter is not passed, the default variables values used in these scripts are set in the

TKENVSET.BAT or tkenvet.sh scripts. You can specify the IP address to configure the RAC as an optional

parameter. The raccfg.ini file is generated with the RACCAP.BAT or raccap.sh sample script. For

information about using the RACCAP.BATor raccap.sh sample script to capture RAC configuration

information, see RACCAP.BAT Or raccap.sh.
