Script Name Description Associated Files
parted is present in the embedded Linux environment you
created.
This script uses the following file for unattended operations:
● upinit.sh — Used by partcfg.sh to create and populate
the Dell utility partition.
NOTE: Do not modify the upinit.sh script.
upinit.sh
Creates and populates the Dell utility
partition in BIOS mode.
NOTE: Do not modify the
upinit.sh script.
● tkenvset.sh — Used by upinit.sh to inform the task
scripts about where to find the DTK utilities, scripts, and
configuration files.
● fdisk — Used to create partitions on your disk.
● mbr — File necessary to create a bootable Dell utility partition.
● 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:
