Windows PE Example:

upinit version 1.0

This utility creates a utility partition for your system.

This utility requires a Utility Partition image file which

can be found on your Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server

Management CD. 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.

--overwrite or -o Overwrites an existing Dell Utility

Partition.

Example:

upinit --disk=0 --size=32 --file=upimg.bin

In the example, upinit creates a Dell Utility Partition of size 32 MB using the

upimg.bin image file.

NOTE: 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 will not be deleted.
