Introduction 1 Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of utilities, sample scripts, and sample configuration files to deploy and configure your Dell system. You can use DTK to build script-based and RPM-based installation for deploying a large number of systems reliably, without changing their current deployment processes. You can use DTK in a Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) or a Linux environment.

– T330 NOTE: For the list of supported operating systems and Dell servers, see the Dell Systems Software Support Matrix at dell.com/openmanagemanuals. NOTE: Use both DTK and the Server Administrator from the same release version to get complete supported features of Server Administrator. Supported Systems For a complete list of supported Dell PowerEdge systems, see the Dell Systems Software Support Matrix in the required version of OpenManage Software at dell.

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. 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.
PAGE 11
If these values do not match the values found on the system, the file input operation fails. The following is the SYSCFG behavior during replication: • Options not available in SYSCFG are termed invalid options. If SYSCFG encounters an invalid option in the syscfg.ini file, the SYSCFG utility terminates. • Unsupported options are options available in SYSCFG but not applicable on certain systems. If SYSCFG encounters an unsupported option, SYSCFG logs this option and continues to the next option.

Command Syntax Overview 2 Syntax refers to the way a command and its parameters are entered. Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) Command Line Interface (CLI) commands can be arranged in any order as long as they conform to the basic command line syntax. DTK Utilities General Usage The following table lists the general usage models of the DTK utilities: Table 1. DTK Utilities Utilities Usage SYSCFG syscfg --option1=[arg1] ... --optionX=[argX] or syscfg bmcoption1 --bmcsuboption1=[arg1]...
PAGE 15
Command Line Syntax The following table lists the generic command line characters and arguments present in the command line options with a short description of these characters. Table 2. Command Line Options Element Description - Prefix single character options. NOTE: This delimiter is not applicable to Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) sub-options. -- Prefix multi-character options. utilname Indicates the generic designation for a DTK utility name.
PAGE 16
• Unless specified otherwise, enter all commands, options, arguments, and command line switches in lowercase letters. Command Line Option Delimiters The following table lists some examples of valid and invalid DTK command lines. Table 3.
PAGE 17
Delimiter Example Description A double quotation mark preceded by a backslash (\") is interpreted as a literal double quotation mark ("). syscfg -option="\"argument" considers "argument as the argument. syscfg --option="\ Backslashes are interpreted literally, unless they immediately \"argument" precede a double quotation mark. If an even number of backslashes are followed by a double quotation mark, then one backslash (\) is taken for every pair of backslashes (\\), and the double quotation mark (")
PAGE 18
Log Files If the log file already exists, information is appended to the file. This allows multiple tools to use the same log file to record information. Use the -l option to record the output of a utility. The log duplicates all standard output and error information to the specified file. Each log file begins with a time stamp and utility name. For example, YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS < utilname > - .

SYSCFG 3 This section documents the Deployment Toolkit (DTK) system configuration utility. It describes the command line parameters, configuration file format, and individual executables used to configure server BIOS and Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) settings, DTK state settings, and system information including PCI device detection. Features The SYSCFG utility: • Displays help and usage information. • Outputs configuration options to a file or screen.
PAGE 20
No Option Valid Arguments NA Description The SYSCFG utility displays the usage information. --envar Valid Arguments Description Stores the environment variable data to a file when used with the – s option. This file can be called from other scripts to set the environment variable. The value of must not be specified if the DTKENVSCR environment variable is set to a valid filename.
PAGE 21
Example: A:>syscfg -h lanchannelaccess lanchannelaccess: Reports LAN channel access information. Sub-options: pefalerting: Enable or disable PEF (Platform Event Filter)alerting.

NOTE: It is applicable only on 12G and later systems. Example: A:>syscfg --ix filename.xml NOTE: You can modify or use the BIOS configuration captured in xml format from a PowerEdge server for large scale deployment configurations using RACADM or WS-MAN. For more information on using RACADM and WS-MAN refer Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 8 (iDRAC8) RACADM Command Line Interface Reference Guide and Dell Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services Quick Start Guide respectively available at dell.
PAGE 23
NOTE: It is applicable only on 12G and later sytems. Example: A:>syscfg --ox filename.ini --ovrwrt* Valid Arguments NA Description Used with the -o option to cause the output file to be overwritten if a file of the same name already exists. This option cannot be replicated. Example: A:>syscfg -o=filename.ini --ovrwrt The file filename has been overwritten. --px or --pendingxmlfile Valid Arguments Description Prints all the pending BIOS options to a specified xml file.

Example: A:>syscfg --version syscfg Version 4.4 P01(Windows - Jan 29 2014,16:48:48) Copyright (c) 2002-2014 Dell Inc. SYSCFG For BIOS Configuration SYSCFG uses BIOS interfaces to manipulate boot order and BIOS settings. It configures all options available on the BIOS setup screen, including boot order, embedded device configuration, and asset tag management. Consider the following while using the SYSCF options: • On systems prior to 12G, options and arguments are case-sensitive.
