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.sh --disk|-d=disk --size|-s=size --file|-f=file
[--overwrite|-o] [--help|-h]
--help or -h prints help.
--disk or -d disk device on which to create the
Dell Utility Partition.
--size or -s Size in MB for the Dell Utility Partition.
--file or -f filename of Dell Utility Partition Image
File.
--overwrite or -o Installs the Dell Utility partition
over an existing one.
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 upimg.bin 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.
