Table 14. Sample Scripts For Deployment on Linux system (continued)
Toolkit Components Purpose
partcfg.sh
Creates and populates the Dell utility partition and creates the deployment partition on a
specified hard drive. Before doing so, however, this script cleans out all existing partitions in
your system.
raccap.sh
Captures RAC settings to a file.
racrep.sh
Applies (replicates) the RAC settings saved in a file to the target system.
raidcfg.sh
Configures all RAID controllers detected in a system.
suseinst.sh
Performs an unattended installation of a supported SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating
system.
syscap.sh
Captures BIOS and BMC configuration settings and saves them to a file.
sysdrmk
Used by upinit.sh to patch the boot sector.
sysrep.sh
Applies (replicates) BIOS and BMC configuration settings and configures the target system.
tkenvset.sh
Sets the path of DTK installation and variables for the specific system being deployed.
upinit.sh
Creates and populates the Dell utility partition.
RPMs
The following table describes all DTK RPMs at mnt/cdrom/RPMs. The syscfg and raidcfg RPMs are also available in Dell EMC
Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD.
Table 15. RPMs
RPMs Purpose
syscfg Configures server BIOS, BMC/DRAC settings, DTK state settings, PCI device detection, and so on.
raidcfg Configures all supported RAID controllers.
racadm Configures RAC.
NOTE: Besides the listed RPMs, a set of dependency RPMs are also available at this location.
