To edit the RAC configuration variables, locate the following lines:
In RACREP.BAT:
:: RAC section
set DT_NICCFG=10.98.8.121
set DT_RAC_CAPFILE=%DT_SYSTEMS%\%DT_PLATFORM%\raccfg.ini
In racrep.sh:
# RAC section
DT_NICCFG=10.98.8.121
set DT_RAC_CAPFILE=$dt_systems/$dt_platform/raccfg.ini
Specifying variables used to create disk partitions and install the Dell utility
partition
NOTE: If the primary deployment state (DT_PARTN) is set to OFF, the partitioning deployment state subsection is skipped.
The PARTCFG.BAT (Windows) or partcfg.sh (Linux) sample script provides the following disk partitioning default values.
These values must be confirmed sometimes, and modified in other cases, before performing a deployment. Locates the partn
label to find the following lines:
In PARTCFG.BAT:
set DT_PARTN_UP=ON
set DT_MOUNT=H
:: Default Hard Drive
set DT_HD=0
:: PARTCFG section
set DT_OS_SIZE=4000
set DT_OS_FSTYPE=FAT32
if not "%DT_PARTN_UP%"=="ON" goto ospart
:: DELLUP section
set DT_UP_SIZE=32
set DT_UP_IMAGE=%DT_SYSTEMS%\UPIMG.BIN
:: RAIDCFG section:: default size for virtual disk
set DT_VD_SIZE=10480
:: default size for virtual disk
In partcfg.sh in BIOS mode:
DT_PARTN_UP=on
# Default Hard Drive
DT_HD=/dev/sda
# deployment section
set DT_DP_SIZE=64
# DELL UP section
set DT_UP_SIZE=32
set DT_UP_IMAGE=$dt_systems/upimg.bin
# RAIDCFG section
DT_VD_SIZE=10480
# default size for virtual disk
CAUTION:
DT_MOUNT specifies the mount point of the Dell utility partition. If your RAMDRIVE, hard drive, or
other device already owns this designation, mount does not override the setting and the utility partition is not
created.
