UpinitErrorCodes.txt Lists the error codes and messages for upinit.sh.
Converter Has the sample utility using python script. Type in the terminal python dtktoracadm.py
command to convert the SYSCFG scripts to equivalent RACADM scripts.
linux_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: python dtktoracadm.py
linux_scripts.lst. The command converts the list of sample.sh files in the input file.

SYSCFG equivalent RACADM commands
The DTK SYSCFG deployment scripts are converted to equivalent RACADM scripts, that helps in migration to utilize RACADM in the
deployment solution. Starting 12th generation of PowerEdge servers and later, selected set of SYSCFG commands are a part of the DTK
sample scripts. The utility has the conversion tool for converting the SYSCFG scripts in both environments Microsoft Windows and Linux
operating systems. The list of DTK sample scripts are present in \Toolkit\Tools\CONVERTER\ windows_scripts.lst for Microsoft
Windows operating systems and toolkit/Converter/ linux_scripts.lst for Linux operating system. The converted scripts are
available in the folder racscripts. The set of converted commands are available in dtktoracadm_dict.map.
The following table lists the set of commands:
