Quick Reference Guide

Toolkit Utilities
DTK contains utilities that allow you to configure the BIOS, Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), Remote Access
Controller (RAC), RAID controllers, and hard-drive partitions on supported Dell systems. Additionally, the utilities can be
integrated with the sample files provided with the toolkit to fully configure one-to-many target systems in a scripted
mass system deployment.
NOTE: In a Linux environment, the DTK utilities do not have the .exe extension.
System Configuration Utility
The SYSCFG utility performs the following tasks:
• 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.
Disk Partitioning Utility
The UPINIT script creates, formats, and populates a Dell Utility Partition.
Replication Of DTK Utilities
This section explains the replication of DTK utilities.
File Format
The -i and -o options use the .ini file format for system configuration (SYSCFG) options. All name/value entries that follow
the [syscfg] section header in the .ini file belong to the SYSCFG utility. For an example of the syscfg.ini file, see
Sample SYSCFG Utility .ini File Format.
SYSCFG Replication Rules
Not all BIOS and BMC options can be replicated using the .ini file. For example, boot sequence and device sequence are
only replicated if a device name list can be supplied. A numerical device list cannot be replicated since the index values
can change from system to system. In addition, because the service tag information is static, it is not commented out in
the output file or replicated. See the description of each option for further replication information.
