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.
RAID Configuration Utility
The RAIDCFG utility reports and sets RAID configuration options.
RAC Configuration Utility
The RACADM utility reports and sets RAC configuration options for Dell Remote Access Controller DRAC
5, iDRAC6, and iDRAC7, and iDRAC8.
Disk Partitioning Utility
The UPINIT script creates, formats, and populates a Dell Utility Partition.
Replication Of DTK Utilities
This section explains the replication of DTK utilities.
File Format
The -i and -o options use the .ini file format for system configuration (SYSCFG) options. All name/value
entries that follow the [syscfg] section header in the .ini file belong to the SYSCFG utility. For an
example of the syscfg.ini file, see Sample SYSCFG Utility .ini File Format.
SYSCFG Replication Rules
Not all BIOS and BMC options can be replicated using the .ini file. For example, boot sequence and
device sequence are only replicated if a device name list can be supplied. A numerical device list cannot
be replicated since the index values can change from system to system. In addition, because the service
tag information is static, it is not commented out in the output file or replicated. See the description of
each option for further replication information.
The syscfg.ini file cannot be used across different systems. The file output operation places system
identification information at the beginning of the [syscfg] section. This information is used to
determine if the file can be accepted as input for a system. The following information is used for
system identification:
• System ID Byte(s)
• System Name
• BIOS Version
