76 SYSCFG
The pci.ids file is located at \DELL\TOOLKIT\TOOLS on Windows systems and /opt/dell/toolkit/bin
on Linux systems. For more information and examples, see the --pci option in Table 3-3.
Environment Variable File
The environment variable file can be used for discovering and recording system information to
environment variables. The file consists of several .ini-formatted sections that map PCI vendor/device
numbers to environment variable values. The environment variable file is sys.ini in
\DELL\TOOLKIT\TOOLS on Windows systems and on Linux systems, you can find it in
/opt/dell/toolkit/bin. For example, the [DELLNIC] section header designates that an environment
variable named dellnic1 should be set to the value of the name/value pair whose name matches the
NIC's vendor/device number. If multiple NICs are present on a system, the environment variables are
numbered sequentially: dellnic1, dellnic2, and so on.
Environmental Variable File Excerpt (sys.ini)
[DELLNIC]
;environment variable will be set to INTELPRO100F for vendor 8086, dev
1001
8086,1001=INTELPRO1000F
;environment variable will be set to INTELPRO100T for vendor 8086, dev
1004
8086,1004=INTELPRO1000T
;environment variable will be set to INTELPRO100XT for vendor 8086, dev
1008
8086,1008=INTELPRO1000XT
The names of the environment variables can be changed in the Variable Names section. If a name is
changed, the section that corresponds to that name must be changed as well.
Also available in the .ini file is a section that maps the system ID number to a string. This string can be
used to identify the system during the discovery phase of deployment. The section name is the environment
variable that will be set to the value of the name/value pair whose name matches the system ID.
To change the name of the environment variable, change the value of the MACHINE name in the
Variable Names section, and change the corresponding section name.
