1 Introduction Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of utilities, sample scripts, and sample configuration files to deploy and configure your Dell system. You can use DTK to build script-based and RPM-based installation for deploying a large number of systems reliably, without changing their current deployment processes. You can use DTK in a Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) or a Linux environment.
Supported Systems For a complete list of supported Dell PowerEdge systems, see the Dell Systems Software Support Matrix available at support.dell.com/manuals. On the Manuals page, click Software Systems Management Dell OpenManage Releases. Click the appropriate product version to access the Support Matrix. Supported Operating Systems For Windows, DTK utilities support the Windows PE 2.0 and 3.0 (32-bit and 64-bit) operating system.
System Configuration Utility The SYSCFG utility: • Reports and sets BIOS configuration options. • Reports and sets BMC/RAC configuration options. • Reports and sets user-configurable states. • Reports system information, including PCI device detection. RAID Configuration Utility The RAIDCFG utility reports and sets RAID configuration options. RAC Configuration Utility The RACADM utility reports and sets RAC configuration options for Dell Remote Access Controller DRAC 5, iDRAC6, and iDRAC7.
The syscfg.ini file cannot be used across different systems. The file output operation places system identification information at the beginning of the [syscfg] section. This information is used to determine if the file can be accepted as input for a system. The following information is used for system identification: • System ID Byte(s) • System Name • BIOS Version If these values do not match the values found on the system, the file input operation fails.
RACADM Replication The RACREP.bat sample script applies RAC configuration options to the target system based on the configuration information that has been saved in a configuration file. User input is optional, depending on the variables set in the RACREP.BAT sample script. This script uses the racadm.exe utility to configure the RAC in the target system using the RAC configuration file, raccfg.ini. The raccfg.ini configuration file is passed as the first parameter to the RACREP.bat script.
• The Dell Update Packages User's Guide provides information about obtaining and using Dell Update Packages as part of your system update strategy. • The Dell OpenManage Sever Administrator Storage Management User’s Guide provides information on RAID controllers. • The Command Line Reference Guide for iDRAC6 and CMC provides information about the RACADM subcommands, supported interfaces, property database groups and object definitions for iDRAC6 and CMC.

Introduction
Command Syntax Overview 2 Syntax refers to the way a command and its parameters are entered. Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) Command Line Interface (CLI) commands can be arranged in any order as long as they conform to the basic command line syntax. Command Line Syntax The general usage models of the DTK utilities are as follows: • SYSCFG syscfg option1 [arg1] ... optionX [argX] OR syscfg bmcoption1 bmcsuboption1 [arg1]...
The DTK command line switches, configuration file formatting, and error reporting follow similar style and behavior. However, individual DTK utilities can sometimes differ from one another in significant ways. You must familiarize yourself with the command line syntax and utility-specific options and arguments for each utility before using DTK. NOTE: Some of the command line options in DTK are followed by an asterisk. Such options are used for reporting purposes only.
Table 2-1. Command Line Syntax (continued) Element Description ... Indicates that the previous argument can be repeated several times in a command. Enter only the information within the ellipses and exclude the ellipses. | Separates two mutually exclusive choices in a syntax line. For example: usb: Turns the usb controller on or off. Argument: enable | disable | legacy Enter only one choice: --usb=enable, --usb= disable, or --usb=legacy.
Table 2-2. DTK Command Line Examples (continued) Valid/ Invalid DTK Command Line Example valid syscfg --option=argument bmcoption --option1= argument syscfg --embnic=on pcp --hostname=webserver NOTE: Do not combine options that specify report or set actions in a command line instance. The other delimiters are: • White space (space or tab). syscfg --option=argument1 argument2 considers argument1 and argument2 as two arguments.
• Backslashes are interpreted literally, unless they immediately precede a double quotation mark. If an even number of backslashes are followed by a double quotation mark, then one backslash (\) is taken for every pair of backslashes (\\), and the double quotation mark (") is interpreted as a string delimiter. syscfg --option="\\"argument" considers \ and argument as two arguments.
Log Files The -l or --logfile option records information output on the command line to the specified log file. Each new line of output is preceded by a time stamp. If the log file already exists, information is appended to the file. This allows multiple tools to use the same log file to record information. Use the -l option to record the output of a utility. The log duplicates all standard output and error information to the specified file.
3 SYSCFG This section documents the Deployment Toolkit (DTK) system configuration utility. It describes the command line parameters, configuration file format, and individual executables used to configure server BIOS and Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) settings, DTK state settings, and system information including PCI device detection. Features The SYSCFG utility has: • Displays help and usage information. • Outputs configuration options to a file or screen.
• Returns specific error codes and messages. • Logs activity to a given filename. • Configures the BIOS features. NOTE: In Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE), the SYSCFG utility is located at \dell\x32\toolkit\tools or \dell\x64\toolkit\tools directory. In Linux, you can find it in the /opt/dell/toolkit/bin directory. SYSCFG General Options NOTE: Some of the options in SYSCFG are followed by an asterisk. These commands do not accept any sub-options or arguments.
Table 3-1. SYSCFG General Options (continued) Options --envar SubOptions Valid Arguments Description valid filename Stores the environment variable data to a file when used with the –s option. This file can be called from other scripts to set the environment variable. The value of must not be specified if the DTKENVSCR environment variable is set to a valid filename. In this case, the filename pointed to by DTKENVSCR is used to store the environment variable data.
Table 3-1. SYSCFG General Options (continued) Options SubOptions Valid Arguments Description -h or --help NA none Displays the general usage information for the utility, when no argument is provided. If the argument matches a valid option, that option's usage information is displayed. If the option has arguments, the arguments are displayed, separated by a | character. If the option has sub-options, all sub-options, valid arguments, and a description are listed.
Table 3-1. SYSCFG General Options (continued) Options SubOptions Valid Arguments Description -i or --infile NA Directs the SYSCFG utility to take input from the.ini file. The utility searches the file for a section heading identical to the utility name. An error is returned if the file or section is not found. If the section is found, each name/value pair is applied to the system. The names must match a valid option, and the arguments must be in the proper format for the option.
Table 3-1. SYSCFG General Options (continued) Options SubOptions Valid Arguments Description -o or --outfile NA Prints all replicable options to the specified filename. The format of the output is in the.ini format, with the utility name as the section header. If a file with the same name already exists, the information is appended to the file. If this option is used with other function commands, the commands are applied in the order in which they appear.
SYSCFG for BIOS Configuration SYSCFG uses BIOS interfaces to manipulate boot order and BIOS settings. It configures all options available on the BIOS setup screen, including boot order, embedded device configuration, and asset tag management.

5 UPINIT The UPINIT utility is used to make a utility partition (UP) on a hard drive, format the partition, and extract the partition contents onto the disk. Features The UPINIT utility: • Displays help and usage information. • Returns specific error codes and messages. NOTE: In Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE), you can find the UPINIT utility in \DELL\TOOLKIT\TEMPLATES\SCRIPTS. In Linux, you can find it in /opt/dell/toolkit/templates/scripts.
• Mounts the partition. • Uncompresses the UP file onto the UP image. • Unmounts the partition. NOTE: On Windows PE, UPINIT runs as a batch file. In Linux, it runs as a shell script that uses standard Linux commands to accomplish the same tasks as done by the Windows PE UPINIT utility. Both command lines are identical and the output of the two utilities are identical when the same image is used.
