Deployment Guide

The pci.ids file is located at \DELL\TOOLKIT\TOOLS on Windows systems and /opt/dell/toolkit/bin on Linux
systems. For more information and examples, see the Options For System Configuration.
Environment Variable File
The environment variable file can be used for discovering and recording system information to environment variables. The
file consists of several sections with .ini format that map PCI vendor/device numbers to environment variable values. The
environment variable file is sys.ini in \DELL\TOOLKIT\TOOLS on Windows systems and on Linux systems, you can find it
in /opt/dell/toolkit/bin . For example, the [DELLNIC] section header designates that an environment variable named
dellnic1 should be set to the value of the name or value pair whose name matches the NIC's vendor or device number. If
multiple NICs are present on a system, the environment variables are numbered sequentially: dellnic1, dellnic2 , and so
on
Environmental Variable File Excerpt (sys.ini)
[DELLNIC]
;environment variable will be set to INTELPRO100F for
vendor 8086, dev 1001
8086,1001=INTELPRO1000F
;environment variable will be set to INTELPRO100T for
vendor 8086, dev 1004
8086,1004=INTELPRO1000T
;environment variable will be set to INTELPRO100XT for
vendor 8086, dev 1008
8086,1008=INTELPRO1000XT
The names of the environment variables can be changed in the Variable Names section. If a name is changed, the section
that corresponds to that name must be changed as well.
Also available in the .ini file is a section that maps the system ID number to a string. This string can be used to identify the
system during the discovery phase of deployment. The section name is the environment variable that is set to the value of the
name/value pair whose name matches the system ID. To change the name of the environment variable, change the value of the
MACHINE name in the Variable Names section, and change the corresponding section name.
