Deployment Guide

The script runs and saves the configuration information in the \Toolkit\Systems\<target system> directory in Windows

and /opt/dell/toolkit/systems/<target system> directory in Linux.

3. Edit the startnet.cmd file (Windows PE image) or start-up script file (embedded Linux image) to remove the text you added in

step 1.

NOTE: The racrep.sh and sysrep.sh have duplicate functions. If you run racrep.sh followed by sysrep.sh, the latter

overwrites the former settings.

Capturing the RAC configuration with the RACCAP or raccap.sh sample script

If your system has a RAC, you can replicate the RAC configuration from the RAC of a source Dell system to an identical target Dell

system with an identical RAC.

NOTE: For the script to complete successfully, the source system must have access to the network share that includes

the pre-built DTK directory structure.

Running RACCAP.BAT or raccap.sh

To run the RACCAP.BAT or raccap.sh sample script to capture the RAC configuration information in the raccfg.ini file:

1. Edit the startnet.cmd file (on your Windows PE image) or start-up script file (on your embedded Linux image) to call the

RACCAP.BAT or raccap.sh script after the network share with the pre-built DTK directory structure is mounted. For example,

add:

On systems running Windows:

Z:\Dell\x32\Toolkit\Template\Scripts\RACCAP.BAT Z:\raccfg.ini

On systems running Linux:

/opt/dell/toolkit/template/scripts/raccap.sh

2. Boot the source system into Windows PE or embedded Linux.

The script runs and saves the configuration information in the \Toolkit\Systems\<target system> directory on systems running

Windows and /opt/dell/toolkit/systems/<target system> directory on systems running Linux.

3. Edit the startnet.cmd file (Windows PE image) or start-up script file (embedded Linux image) to remove the text you added in

step 1.

NOTE: The RAC configuration file is referred to as the .cfg file in the

The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller

8 (iDRAC8) User's Guide

. See these guides for additional information about manually creating a RAC configuration

file.

NOTE: Do not replicate the RAC IP address when creating a .cfg file. Replicating the RAC IP address can leave the

system inaccessible because multiple systems are configured with the same IP address.

NOTE: The racrep.sh and sysrep.sh have duplicate functions. If you run racrep.sh followed by sysrep.sh, the latter

overwrites the former settings.

RACCAP.BAT or raccap.sh

The RACCAP.BAT or raccap.sh sample script captures RAC configuration settings and saves them to a specified location. An

optional user input can be passed as a parameter. You can provide the path or file name as an input to this script. The default

variable values used in this script are set to the correct default values to perform a scripted deployment. On systems running

Windows, the RACCAP.BAT uses the RACADM.EXE utility to retrieve RAC configuration settings from the source system and to

save it in raccfg.ini file at \Toolkit\Systems\<target system>. On systems running Linux, the raccap.sh script uses the racadm

wrapper script or the syscfg utility (depending on the RAC version on your system) to retrieve RAC configuration settings from the

source system and to save it in raccfg.ini at /opt/dell/toolkit/systems/<target system>.

NOTE: Ensure that you run RACCAP.BAT in a writable environment. If you run RACCAP.BAT in a read-only environment,

DTK displays the message <filename.ini> has been generated.
