PE
Perform the following steps to run the SYSCAP.BAT sample script to capture BIOS and BMC
configuration information in the syscfg.ini file:
1
Edit the startnet.cmd file on your Windows PE image to call the SYSCAP.BAT script after the
network share with the prebuilt DTK directory structure is mounted. For example, add:
call Z :\Dell\Toolkit\Template\Scripts\SYSCAP.BAT
2
Boot the source system into Windows PE.
The script runs and saves configuration information in the
Z:\Dell\Toolkit\Systems\<target system> directory.
3 Edit the startnet.cmd file in your Windows PE image to remove the text you added in step 1.
Capturing the RAC Configuration With the RACCAP.BAT Sample Script
If your system has a RAC, you can replicate the RAC configuration from a source Dell PowerEdge
system’s RAC to an identical target Dell PowerEdge system with an identical RAC (for example, from
one PowerEdge 1850 with a DRAC4/I to another PowerEdge 1850 with a DRAC4/I).
NOTE: For the script to complete successfully, the source system must have access to the network share that
includes the prebuilt DTK directory structure.
RACCAP.BAT
The RACCAP.BAT sample script captures RAC configuration settings and saves them to a specified location.
An optional user input can be passed as a parameter. You can provide the path or file name as an input to
this script. The default variable values used in this script are set in the script to the correct default values
to perform a scripted deployment. The RACCAP.BAT script uses the RACADM.EXE utility to retrieve
RAC configuration settings from the source system and to save the settings in a file named raccfg.ini in
the Z:\Dell\Toolkit\Systems\<target system> directory.
Perform the following steps to run the RACCAP.BAT sample script to capture RAC configuration
information in the raccfg.ini file:
1
Edit the startnet.cmd file on your Windows PE image to call the RACCAP.BAT script after the
network share with the prebuilt DTK directory structure is mounted. For example, add:
call Z :\Dell\Toolkit\Template\Scripts\RACCAP.BAT \ Z :\raccfg.ini
2
Boot the source system into Windows PE.
The script runs and saves configuration information in the
Z:\Dell\Toolkit\Systems\<target system> directory.
