Script Name Description Associated Files

• sysdrmk — Used by upinit.sh to patch the boot sector.

• unzip — Used by upinit.sh for populating the Dell utility

partition.

• mke2fs — Used to create a ext2 file system.

• upimg.bin — Contains the zipped contents of the Dell utility

partition.

Editing example of TKENVSET and tkenvset

The majority of editing required for DTK sample scripts involves the TKENVSET.BAT (for Windows) or tkenvset.sh (for Linux) script. As

a result, the scripting discussion focuses on this script. Other task scripts may require edits in certain situations. These optional edits are

discussed in Editing DTK Task Scripts. The TKENVSET.BAT or tkenvset.sh script sets the path of DTK utilities and scripts and sets the

variables for the system to be deployed and configured. The variables and paths specified in this file before other supporting scripts are

used.

Specifying DTK installation paths

The TKENVSET.BAT or tkenvset.sh sample script is provided with the following default values. These values must be confirmed in

some cases, and modified in other cases, before a deployment. Locate the Deployment Toolkit Installation Paths heading to find the

following lines:

On systems running Windows:

set DT_DRIVE=X:

set DT_PATH=%DT_DRIVE%\Dell\Toolkit

set DT_TOOLS=%DT_PATH%\Tools

set DT_SYSTEMS=%DT_PATH%\Systems

set DT_SCRIPTS=%DT_PATH%\Template\Scripts

set DT_STOP_ON_ERROR=FALSE

On systems running Linux:

DT_PATH=$dt_drive/opt/dell/toolkit

DT_TOOLS=$dt_path/bin

DT_SYSTEMS=$dt_path/systems

DT_SCRIPTS=$dt_path/template/scripts

DT_STOP_ON_ERROR=FALSE

DT_DRMK=$dt_path/opt/dell/drmk

Confirming or editing DTK installation path variables

Perform the following steps to confirm and/or edit the installation path variables:

1. On systems running Windows, set the variable that defines the path to the full set of DTK deployment files (DT_DRIVE). On systems

running Windows, this variable is set to X: by default in the sample script. For Windows, this variable is set to X: by default in the

sample script. On systems running Linux, this variable is set to $dt_drive/opt/dell/toolkit by default in the sample script.

Edit this drive letter to reflect the actual drive letter for DTK deployment files, if necessary.

2. Set the variable that defines the path to the full set of DTK deployment files (DT_PATH). This variable is set to %DT_DRIVE%\Dell

\Toolkit (Windows) or $dt_drive/opt/dell/toolkit (Linux) by default in the sample script. Edit this path to reflect the

actual location of DTK deployment files, if necessary.

3. Set the variable that defines the directory containing DTK utilities (DT_TOOLS). This variable is set to %DT_PATH%\Tools

(Windows) or $dt_path/bin (Linux) by default in the sample script. Edit this path to reflect the actual location of DTK utilities, if

necessary.

4. Set the variable that defines the directory containing the configuration files for your Dell systems (DT_SYSTEMS). This variable is set

to %DT_PATH%\Systems (Windows) or $dt_path/systems (Linux) by default in the sample script. Edit this path to add a

subdirectory for the Dell system you plan to deploy. For example, $dt_path/systems/<server_name>.
