Running The SYSCAP.BAT Or Syscap.sh
To run the SYSCAP.BAT or syscap.sh sample script to capture the BIOS and BMC configuration information in the
syscfg.ini file:
1. Edit the startnet.cmd file (on your Windows PE image) or start-up script file (on your embedded Linux image) to call
the SYSCAP.BAT or syscap.sh script after the network share with the pre-built DTK directory structure is mounted.
For example, add:
On systems running Windows:
call Z:\Dell\Toolkit\Template\Scripts\SYSCAP.BAT
On systems running Linux:
/opt/dell/toolkit/template/scripts /syscap.sh
2. Boot the source system into Windows PE or embedded Linux.
The script runs and saves the configuration information in the \Toolkit\Systems\<target system> directory in
Windows and /opt/dell/toolkit/systems/<target system> directory in Linux.
3. Edit the startnet.cmd file (Windows PE image) or start-up script file (embedded Linux image) to remove the text you
added in step 1.
NOTE: For 9G or later systems, raccap.sh and syscap.sh have duplicate functions. If you run raccap.sh
followed by syscap.sh, the latter overwrites settings of the former.
Capturing The RAC Configuration With The RACCAP Or raccap.sh Sample Script
If your system has a RAC, you can replicate the RAC configuration from the RAC of a source Dell system to an identical
target Dell system with an identical RAC. For example, from one PowerEdge R720 with iDRAC7 to another PowerEdge
R720 with iDRAC7.
NOTE: For the script to complete successfully, the source system must have access to the network share that
includes the pre-built DTK directory structure.
Running RACCAP.BAT Or raccap.sh
To run the RACCAP.BAT or raccap.sh sample script to capture the RAC configuration information in the raccfg.ini file:
1. Edit the startnet.cmd file (on your Windows PE image) or start-up script file (on your embedded Linux image) to call
the RACCAP.BAT or raccap.sh script after the network share with the pre-built DTK directory structure is mounted.
For example, add:
On systems running Windows:
Z:\Dell\x32\Toolkit\Template\Scripts\RACCAP.BAT Z:\raccfg.ini
On systems running Linux:
/opt/dell/toolkit/template/scripts/raccap.sh
2. Boot the source system into Windows PE or embedded Linux.
The script runs and saves the configuration information in the \Toolkit\Systems\<target system> directory on
systems running Windows and /opt/dell/toolkit/systems/<target system> directory on systems running Linux.
3. Edit the startnet.cmd file (Windows PE image) or start-up script file (embedded Linux image) to remove the text you
added in step 1.
NOTE: The RAC configuration file is referred to as the .cfg file in the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller
6 (iDRAC6) Enterprise for Blade Servers User Guide and the Dell Remote Access Controller 4 User’s Guide .
See these guides for additional information about manually creating a RAC configuration file.
