● Capturing The System BIOS And BMC Configuration With The SYSCAP Or syscap Sample Script
● Capturing The RAC Configuration With The RACCAP Or raccap Sample Script
Capturing the system BIOS and BMC configuration with the
SYSCAP or syscap.sh sample script
You can replicate the system BIOS and BMC configurations from a source Dell system to an identical target Dell system.
NOTE: For the script to complete successfully, the source system must have access to the network share that includes the
prebuilt DTK directory structure.
SYSCAP.BAT or syscap.sh
The SYSCAP.BAT or syscap.sh sample script captures BIOS and BMC configuration settings and saves them to a specified
location. An optional user input can be passed as a parameter. You can provide the path or file name as an input to this script.
The default variable 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.
