Toolkit Components Purpose
UMOUNTUP.CFG This file is used by UPINIT.BAT.
DTKRUNALL.BAT Applies BIOS, BMC, RAC, and RAID settings saved in the files
to the current system.
ERRHNDL.BAT Handles errors returned in DTK scripts.
PARTCFG.BAT Creates and populates the Dell utility partition and creates
the operating system partition on a specified hard drive. The
script cleans out all existing partitions on your system before
creating and populating the partition.
RACCAP.BAT Captures Remote Access Controller (RAC) settings to a file
for DRAC 4 remote access controllers.
RACREP.BAT Applies (replicates) the RAC settings saved in a file to the
target system.
RAIDCAP.BAT Captures the RAID settings and saves them to a file.
RAIDCFG.BAT Configures the selected RAID controllers on the system.
RAIDREP.BAT Applies (replicates) RAID settings saved in a file to the target
system.
SYSCAP.BAT Captures BIOS and BMC configuration settings and saves
them to a file.
SYSREP.BAT Applies (replicates) BIOS and BMC configuration settings and
configures the target system.
TKENVSET.BAT Sets the path of DTK installation and variables for the specific
system being deployed.
UPINIT.BAT Creates and populates the Dell utility partition.
Sample scripts for deployment on Linux system
The following table lists Linux sample scripts necessary to perform a scripted deployment.
NOTE:
All DTK scripts are provided as examples only. The batch scripts and configuration files must be modified to reflect
the unique information for each deployed system.
