Deployment Guide

values used in this script are set to the correct default values to perform a scripted deployment. The SYSCAP.BAT or syscap.sh script
uses the SYSCFG utility to retrieve BIOS and BMC configuration settings from the source system and to save the settings in a file named
syscfg.ini in the Z:\Dell\Toolkit\Systems\<target system> directory.
Running the SYSCAP.BAT or Syscap.sh
To run the SYSCAP.BAT or syscap.sh sample script to capture the BIOS and BMC configuration information in the syscfg.ini
file:
1. Edit the startnet.cmd file (on your Windows PE image) or start-up script file (on your embedded Linux image) to call the
SYSCAP.BAT or syscap.sh script after the network share with the pre-built DTK directory structure is mounted. For example,
add:
On systems running Windows:
call Z:\Dell\Toolkit\Template\Scripts\SYSCAP.BAT
On systems running Linux:
/opt/dell/toolkit/template/scripts /syscap.sh
2. Boot the source system into Windows PE or embedded Linux.
The script runs and saves the configuration information in the \Toolkit\Systems\<target system> directory in Windows
and /opt/dell/toolkit/systems/<target system> directory in Linux.
3. Edit the startnet.cmd file (Windows PE image) or start-up script file (embedded Linux image) to remove the text you added in
step 1.
NOTE:
The racrep.sh and sysrep.sh have duplicate functions. If you run racrep.sh followed by sysrep.sh,
the latter overwrites the former settings.
Capturing the RAC configuration with the RACCAP or
raccap.sh sample script
If your system has a RAC, you can replicate the RAC configuration from the RAC of a source Dell system to an identical target Dell system
with an identical RAC.
NOTE:
For the script to complete successfully, the source system must have access to the network share that includes
the pre-built DTK directory structure.
Running RACCAP.BAT or raccap.sh
To run the RACCAP.BAT or raccap.sh sample script to capture the RAC configuration information in the raccfg.ini file:
1. Edit the startnet.cmd file (on your Windows PE image) or start-up script file (on your embedded Linux image) to call the
RACCAP.BAT or raccap.sh script after the network share with the pre-built DTK directory structure is mounted. For example,
add:
On systems running Windows:
Z:\Dell\x32\Toolkit\Template\Scripts\RACCAP.BAT Z:\raccfg.ini
On systems running Linux:
/opt/dell/toolkit/template/scripts/raccap.sh
2. Boot the source system into Windows PE or embedded Linux.
The script runs and saves the configuration information in the \Toolkit\Systems\<target system> directory on systems
running Windows and /opt/dell/toolkit/systems/<target system> directory on systems running Linux.
3. Edit the startnet.cmd file (Windows PE image) or start-up script file (embedded Linux image) to remove the text you added in
step 1.
NOTE:
The RAC configuration file is referred to as the .cfg file in the The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller
8 (iDRAC8) User's Guide . See these guides for additional information about manually creating a RAC configuration
file.
