option because the --overwrite option does not resize an existing Dell
Utility Partition. If any partitions exist, they are not deleted.
disk
integer, required
(Windows) string,
required (Linux)
Specifies the disk on which to create a utility partition. This disk is
checked to ensure that there are no existing partitions. Utility exits
with an error if the disk has partitions other than a utility partition.
Use option --overwrite to overwrite an existing utility partition.
Example:
A:>upinit --disk=0 --size=32 --file=
c:\upimage.bin (WinPE Example)
# upinit --disk=/dev/hda --size=32 --
file=/home/BIN/upimage.bin (Linux
Example)
size
integer, required
The size of the utility partition to create. The created utility is at least
the size specified by size and be as close to actual size as drive
geometry allows.
Example :
A:>upinit --disk=0 --size=32 --file=
c:\upimage.bin
file
string, required
Specifies a file that is decompressed onto the utility partition. This file
is checked for existence and availability before any partitions are
created on the disk. If the file is not specified, the utility simply create
the utility partition, format it, and exits. The user has to mount and
populate the utility partition. It is very unlikely that the user do NOT
specify the utility partition format.
Example:
A:>upinit --disk=0 --size=32 --file=
c:\upimage.bin
--overwrite
string, optional
Overwrites an existing utility partition. It does not create a new
partition or delete an existing partition.
