# RAIDCFG section

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.

In partcfg.sh in UEFI mode:

DT_PARTN_UP=OFF

# Default Hard Drive

DT_HD=/dev/sda

# PARTCFG section

set DT_DP_SIZE_GPT=125

# RAIDCFG section

DT_VD_SIZE=10480

# default size for virtual disk

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), if necessary. Set this variable f you want

to install the Dell utility partition.

2. Edit the default variable value for the default hard drive (DT_HD for Windows and DT_HD 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 (DT_DP_SIZE in MB for BIOS mode and DT_DP_SIZE_GPT in MiB for

UEFI mode) for the primary operating system partition, if applicable.

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

NOTE: The valid values are FAT32 and NTFS.

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

partition (DT_UP_SIZE), if applicable.

6. If the DT_PARTN_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
