Quick Reference Guide

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.

The following is the SYSCFG behavior during replication:

• Options not available in SYSCFG are termed invalid options. If SYSCFG encounters an invalid option in the

syscfg.ini file, the SYSCFG utility terminates.

• Unsupported options are options available in SYSCFG but not applicable on certain systems. If SYSCFG

encounters an unsupported option, SYSCFG logs this option and continues to the next option.

• Unsupported arguments are arguments valid in SYSCFG but not applicable on certain systems. If SYSCFG

encounters an unsupported argument, SYSCFG terminates.

For example, the command syscfg –-embsataraid=ahci is not applicable on some PowerEdge

series systems.

• SYSCFG logs a message in the log file for each option processed in the syscfg.ini file. To generate the log file,

use the logfile option.

RAID Replication

The RAID replication feature reads the RAID configuration information from the source system and creates a raid.ini file.

This raid.ini file can be applied to the RAID configurations of the target system. The RAID replication requires both, the

source system and the target system to have similar RAID controllers.

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 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. If this parameter is not passed, the default variable values used in this script are set in the TKENVSET.BAT

scripts. An optional second parameter can be passed to this file, which specifies the IP address used in configuring the

RAC. The raccfg.ini file is generated with the RACCAP.BAT sample script.
