Users Guide

parameter is not passed, the default variables values used in this script are set in the SYSREP.BAT or sysrep.sh scripts.

The syscfg.ini file is generated with the SYSCAP.BAT or syscap.sh sample script. For information about using the

SYSCAP.BAT or syscap.sh sample script to capture BIOS and BMC settings, see SYSCAP.BAT Or syscap.sh. The second

parameter is a name or path to a log file. This parameter is not set to any value by default, and no log file is generated.

NOTE: If the replication requires a change in the memory redundancy mode, reboot the target server and execute

the script again to complete the replication.

NOTE: For 9G or later systems, racrep.sh and sysrep.sh have duplicate functions. If you run racrep.sh followed by

sysrep.sh, the latter overwrites the former settings.

PARTCFG.BAT Or partcfg.sh

In BIOS mode, the PARTCFG.BAT or partcfg.sh sample script creates and populates the Dell utility partition using

UPINIT.BAT or upinit.sh and creates the deployment partition on a specified disk. In UEFI mode, the partcfg.sh sample

script creates the deployment partition on a specified disk. For more information about using the UPINIT.BAT or upinit.sh

tool, see UPINIT.BAT Or upinit.sh. User input is not required to run this script. The default variable values used in this

script are set in the TKENVSET.BAT or tkenvset.sh scripts.

NOTE: Ensure that DT_HD is set to the required disk to be configured before you execute the PARTCFG.BAT or

partcfg.sh script.

Using DTK Sample Scripts To Capture Configuration Information

The SYSCFG and RACADM utilities can read the source system configuration and duplicate that configuration on a

target system using a sample DTK script file. These configuration files are used during a full deployment to configure the

BIOS, BMC, and RAC settings on the target system. The following sections provide instructions for:

• Capturing The System BIOS And BMC Configuration With The SYSCAP Or syscap Sample Script

• Capturing The RAC Configuration With The RACCAP Or raccap Sample Script

Capturing The System BIOS And BMC Configuration With The SYSCAP Or syscap.sh

Sample Script

You can replicate the system BIOS and BMC configurations from a source Dell system to an identical target Dell system.

For example, from one PowerEdge R720 to another Dell PowerEdge R720.

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.

SYSCAP.BAT Or syscap.sh

The SYSCAP.BAT or syscap.sh sample script captures BIOS and BMC configuration settings and saves them to a

specified location. An optional user input can be passed as a parameter. You can provide the path or file name as an

input to this script. The default variable values used in this script are set to the correct default values to perform a

scripted deployment. The SYSCAP.BAT or syscap.sh script uses the SYSCFG utility to retrieve BIOS and BMC

configuration settings from the source system and to save the settings in a file named syscfg.ini in the Z:\Dell\Toolkit

\Systems\<target system> directory.
