Reports PCI devices when used with syscfg.exe.
disclaimer.txt
Displays the disclaimer for the tools.
RaidcfgErrorCodes.txt
Lists the error codes and messages for the raidcfg.exe tool.
SyscfgErrorCodes.txt
Lists the error codes and messages for the syscfg.exe tool.
CONVERTER
Has the utility dtktoracadm.exe to convert the SYSCFG scripts to equivalent
RACADM scripts. The file is located in Toolkit\Tools\CONVERTER.
dtktoracadm_dict.map
Displays the list of SYSCFG commands converted to equivalent RACADM commands.
windows_scripts.lst
Displays the list of input SYSCFG sample scripts available to be converted to
RACADM scripts.
For example, in the prompt, type the command: dtktoracadm.exe
windows_scripts.lst. The command converts the list of sample .BAT files in
the input file.
racscripts
The racscripts folder is empty before running the utility command. After the .exe
script is run, the SYSCFG scripts converted to equivalent RACADM scripts are
available in this folder.
changed_tokens.log
Displays the converted RACADM scripts log.
unchanged_tokens.log
Displays the RACADM scripts logs which are not converted.
System utilities and supported files For Linux
The following table lists the files, at /opt/dell/toolkit/bin and the supporting libraries located in /opt/dell/
toolkit/lib on systems running the Linux operating system. The files are the core tools (utilities) that perform preoperating
system configuration and deployment tasks. See the Dell EMC OpenManage Deployment Toolkit Command Line Interface
Reference Guide at dell.com/openmanagemanuals for complete information about the capabilities of each DTK utility.
