This section documents the Deployment Toolkit (DTK) RAID configuration utility. The RAIDCFG utility provides a single
command line tool that can configure all supported RAID controllers.
Features
The RAID configuration utility:
• Displays help and usage information.
• Reads configuration options from the Command Line Interface (CLI) parameters.
• Enumerates RAID controllers, physical disks, and virtual disks.
• Creates and deletes virtual disks.
• Logs activity to a given filename.
• Returns specific error codes and messages.
• Assigns and unassigns global and dedicated hot spares.
NOTE: In Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE), you can find the RAIDCFG utility at \DELL
\x32\TOOLKIT\TOOLS or at \DELL\x64\TOOLKIT\TOOLS. In Linux, you can find it at/opt/dell/toolkit/bin.

RAIDCFG Dependencies
For the RAIDCFG utility to run successfully in Windows PE, the mr2kserv, lsivil.dll (for Windows) or lsivil.so (for Linux) and
sasvil.dll (for Windows) or sasvil.so (for Linux) must be in the same directory as RAIDCFG.
The mr2kserv is a service that is automatically started by the DTK startup script. This service is required to configure all
LSI RAID controllers in Windows PE and provides Plug and Play support.
