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
● RAIDCFG.BAT or raidcfg.sh
● SYSREP.BAT or sysrep.sh
● PARTCFG.BAT or partcfg.sh
RACREP.BAT or racrep.sh
The RACREP.BAT or racrep.sh sample script applies RAC options to the target system based on configuration information
that has been saved in the configuration file. User input is optional, depending on the variables set in the RACREP.BAT or
racrep.sh sample script. On systems running Windows, RACREP.BAT script uses RACADM.EXE to configure RAC in the
target system. On systems running Linux the racrep.sh script uses racadm wrapper script or the syscfg utility (depending
