118 Preparing the Script Files for Deployment Using Embedded Linux
syscfg.ini, passed as the first parameter to this script. If this parameter is not
passed, the default variables values used in this script are set in the sysrep.sh
scripts. The syscfg.ini file is generated with the syscap.sh sample script. See
"syscap.sh" for information about using the syscap.sh sample script to capture
BIOS and BMC settings. The second parameter is a name or path to a log file.
This parameter is not set to any value by default, and no log file is generated.
NOTE: If the replication requires a change in the memory redundancy mode, the
target server should be rebooted and the script should be executed again to
complete the replication.
NOTE: For x9xx systems, racrep.sh and sysrep.sh have duplicate functions. If you
run racrep.sh followed by sysrep.sh, the latter overwrites the former’s settings.
partcfg.sh
The partcfg.sh sample script creates and populates the Dell utility partition
using upinit.sh and creates the deployment partition on a specified disk. (See
"upinit.sh" for more information about using the upinit.sh tool.) User input is
not required to run this script. The default variable values used in this script
are set in the tkenvset.sh scripts.
NOTE: Ensure that DT_HD is set to the required disk to be configured before you
execute the partcfg.sh script.
Using the DTK Sample Scripts to Capture
Configuration Information in Embedded Linux
The syscfg and racadm utilities can read the source system configuration and
duplicate that configuration on a target system using a sample DTK script
file. These configuration files are used during a full deployment to configure
the target system’s BIOS, BMC, and RAC settings. The following sections
provide instructions for using the syscap.sh and raccap.sh sample scripts to
create configuration files.
Capturing the System BIOS and BMC Configuration With the syscap.sh
Sample Script
You can replicate the system BIOS and BMC configurations from a source
Dell system to an identical target Dell system (for example, from one
PowerEdge™ 1850 to another PowerEdge 1850).
