DT_VD_SIZE=10480

# default size for virtual disk

CAUTION: DT_MOUNT specifies the mount point of the Dell utility partition. If your RAMDRIVE, hard drive, or other

device already owns this designation, mount does not override the setting and the utility partition is not created.

Editing The Default Partition Configuration Values

Perform the following steps to edit the default partition configuration default values, as necessary:

1. Edit the default utility partitioning variable (DT_PARTN_UP=ON), if necessary. This variable sets if you want to

install the Dell utility partition.

NOTE: It is recommended that you install the Dell utility partition.

2. Edit the default variable value for the default hard drive (DT_HD=0 for Windows and DT_HD=sda for Linux),

if applicable.

NOTE: Ensure that the default variable value for DT_HD is set to a valid non‑removable disk, and not to

removable media such as virtual media.

3. Edit the default variable value (in MB) for the primary operating system partition (DT_OS_SIZE=4000), if applicable.

4. Edit the default variable value for file system type ( DT_OS_FSTYPE=FAT32), if applicable.

NOTE: The valid values are FAT32 and NTFS.

5. If the DT_PART_UP variable is set to ON, edit the default variable value (in MB) for the utility partition

(

DT_UP_SIZE=32), if applicable.

6. If the DT_PART_UP variable is set to ON, edit the default variable value for the utility partition installation package

location (DT_UP_IMAGE=%DT_SYSTEMS%\UPIMG.BIN for Windows and DT_UP_IMAGE=$dt_systems/

upimg.bin for Linux), if applicable.

NOTE: Edit the UPIMG_BIN variable only if you have changed the name or path of the utility partition

installation package.

Editing DTK Task Scripts

The task scripts called by the master batch file do not require any edits (with the following exceptions) if the default

variable values are utilized in the TKENVSET.BAT or tkenvset.sh scripts. However, if you make any changes to the

default values set by the TKENVSET.BAT or tkenvset.sh, you must make the same edits to the matching default values

set in the appropriate task scripts. Locate the USER MODIFICATION REQUIRED heading in the task scripts to find the

variable values you may need to edit. Each of the following task scripts can be called by the user-written master batch

script during a full deployment:

• RACREP.BAT or racrep.sh

• RAIDCFG.BAT or raidcfg.sh

• SYSREP.BAT or sysrep.sh

• PARTCFG.BAT or partcfg.sh

RACREP.BAT Or racrep.sh

The RACREP.BAT or racrep.sh sample script applies RAC options to the target system based on configuration

information that has been saved in the configuration file. User input is optional, depending on the variables set in the

RACREP.BAT or racrep.sh sample script. On systems running Windows, RACREP.BAT script uses RACADM.EXE to

configure RAC in the target system. On systems running Linux the racrep.sh script uses racadm wrapper script or the
