Table 349. UPINIT Options and Arguments (continued)
Option Valid Arguments Description
disk
integer, required
(Windows) string,
required (Linux)
Specifies the disk on which to create a utility partition. This disk is checked
to ensure that there are no existing partitions. Utility exits with an error if
the disk has partitions other than a utility partition.
Use option --overwrite to overwrite an existing utility partition.
Example:
A:>upinit --disk=0 --size=32 --file=
c:\upimage.bin (WinPE Example)
# upinit --disk=/dev/hda --size=32 --
file=/home/BIN/upimage.bin (Linux
Example)
size
integer, required
The size of the utility partition to create. The created utility is at least
the size specified by size and be as close to actual size as drive geometry
allows.
Example :
A:>upinit --disk=0 --size=32 --file=
c:\upimage.bin
file
string, required
Specifies a file that is decompressed onto the utility partition. This file
is checked for existence and availability before any partitions are created
on the disk. If the file is not specified, the utility simply create the utility
partition, format it, and exits. The user has to mount and populate the
utility partition. It is very unlikely that the user do NOT specify the utility
partition format.
Example:
A:>upinit --disk=0 --size=32 --file=
c:\upimage.bin
--overwrite
string, optional
Overwrites an existing utility partition. It does not create a new partition or
delete an existing partition.
