118 Preparing the Script Files for Deployment Using Embedded Linux
Perform the following steps to run the raccap.sh sample script to capture
RAC configuration information in the raccfg.ini file:
1
Edit the start-up script file on your embedded Linux image to call the
raccap.sh script after the network share with the prebuilt DTK directory
structure is mounted. For example, add:
source/dell/toolkit/template/scripts/raccap.sh
2
Boot the source system into embedded Linux.
The script runs and saves configuration information in the
/opt/dell/toolkit/systems/<target system> directory.
3 Edit the start-up script file on your embedded Linux image to remove the
text you added in step 1.
NOTE: The RAC configuration file is referred to as the .cfg file in the Integrated Dell
Remote Access Controller 6 (iDRAC6) Enterprise for Blade Servers User Guide and
the Dell Remote Access Controller 4 User’s Guide. See these guides for additional
information about manually creating a RAC configuration file.
NOTE: Do not replicate the RAC IP address when creating a .cfg file. Replicating
the RAC IP address can leave the system inaccessible because multiple systems
are configured with the same IP address.
NOTE: For x9xx or later systems, raccap.sh and syscap.sh have duplicate
functions. If you run raccap.sh followed by syscap.sh, the latter overwrites the
former’s settings.
upinit.sh
The upinit.sh tool is used to create and populate the Dell utility partition.
NOTE: You can use this script to create a new Dell utility partition only if there are
no existing partitions on your hard disk.
You can also use this script to upgrade or downgrade an existing Dell utility
partition. Upgrades or downgrades can be made only to existing Dell utility
partitions to capture BIOS and BMC settings.
CAUTION: The existing Dell utility partition should be the first primary partition
on the hard disk. Also, the Dell utility partition must be greater than or equal to
32 MB and less than 2 GB.
For details on the command line arguments to be used for upinit.sh, see the
Deployment Toolkit Command Line Interface Reference Guide.
