Toolkit Utilities
DTK contains utilities that allow you to congure the BIOS, Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), Remote Access Controller
(RAC), RAID controllers, and hard-drive partitions on supported Dell systems. Additionally, the utilities can be integrated with the
sample les provided with the toolkit to fully congure one-to-many target systems in a scripted mass system deployment.
System Conguration Utility
The SYSCFG utility performs the following tasks:
• Reports and sets BIOS conguration options.
• Reports and sets BMC/RAC conguration options.
• Reports and sets user-congurable states.
• Reports system information, including PCI device detection.
RAID Conguration Utility
The RAIDCFG utility reports and sets RAID conguration options.
RAC Conguration Utility
The RACADM utility reports and sets RAC conguration options for Dell Remote Access Controller DRAC 5, iDRAC6, and iDRAC7,
and iDRAC8.
Disk Partitioning Utility
The UPINIT script creates, formats, and populates a Dell Utility Partition.
Replication Of DTK Utilities
This section explains the replication of DTK utilities.
File Format
The -i and -o options use the .ini le format for system conguration (SYSCFG) options. All name/value entries that follow the
[syscfg] section header in the .ini le belong to the SYSCFG utility. For an example of the syscfg.ini le, see Sample SYSCFG
Utility .ini File Format.
SYSCFG Replication Rules
Not all BIOS and BMC options can be replicated using the .ini le. For example, boot sequence and device sequence are only
replicated if a device name list can be supplied. A numerical device list cannot be replicated since the index values can change from
system to system. In addition, because the service tag information is static, it is not commented out in the output le or replicated.
See the description of each option for further replication information.
The syscfg.ini le cannot be used across dierent systems. The le output operation places system identication information at the
beginning of the [syscfg] section. This information is used to determine if the le can be accepted as input for a system. The
following information is used for system identication:
• System ID Byte(s)
• System Name
• BIOS Version
If these values do not match the values found on the system, the le input operation fails.
