Preparing the Directory Structure for Deployment in Embedded Linux 63
Sample Scripts
Table 7-5 lists sample scripts necessary to perform a scripted deployment.
NOTE: All DTK scripts are provided as examples only. Many of these sample scripts must be edited before they
can be used in a deployment. Some customers may need to develop their own scripts entirely from scratch.
Customers deploying multiple systems must provide unique information for each Dell PowerEdge™ system where
appropriate. For example, system host names, IP addresses, and BIOS asset tags need to be unique for each
system. The batch scripts and configuration files must be modified to reflect the unique information for each
deployed system. Many options are available to optimize this process. See "Preparing the Script Files for
Deployment Using Embedded Linux" for information about using the sample scripts to perform a full deployment on
supported Dell systems.
Table 7-5. Sample Scripts
Toolkit Components Purpose
errhndl.sh Handles errors returned in the DTK scripts.
lininst.sh Performs an unattended installation of a supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server
operating system.
partcfg.sh Creates and populates the Dell utility partition and creates the deployment partition on
a specified hard drive. Before doing so, however, this script cleans out all existing
partitions in your system.
raccap.sh Captures RAC settings to a file.
racrep.sh Applies (replicates) the RAC settings saved in a file to the target system.
raidcfg.sh Configures all RAID controllers detected in a system.
suseinst.sh Performs an unattended installation of a supported SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
operating system.
syscap.sh Captures BIOS and BMC configuration settings and saves them to a file.
sysdrmk Used by upinit.sh to patch the boot sector.
sysrep.sh Applies (or replicates) BIOS and BMC configuration settings and configures the target
system.
tkenvset.sh Sets the path of the DTK installation and variables for the specific system being
deployed.
upinit.sh Creates and populates the Dell utility partition.
