RAID Configuration Utility
The RAIDCFG utility reports and sets RAID configuration options.
RAC Configuration Utility

Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC) 4, DRAC 5, and iDRAC 6.

Replication of DTK Utilities
File Format
The -i and -o options use the .ini file format for system configuration
(SYSCFG) options. All name/value entries that follow the [syscfg] section
header in the .ini file belong to the SYSCFG utility. For an example of the
syscfg.ini file, see "Sample SYSCFG Utility .ini File Format" on page 237.
SYSCFG Replication Rules
Not all BIOS and BMC options can be replicated using the .ini file.
For example, boot sequence and device sequence are only replicated if a
device name list can be supplied. A numerical device list cannot be replicated
since these index values can change from system to system. In addition,
because the service tag information is static, it is not commented out in the
output file or replicated. See the description of each option for further
replication information.
