2 Command Syntax Overview Syntax refers to the way a command and its parameters are entered. Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) Command Line Interface (CLI) commands can be arranged in any order as long as they conform to the basic command line syntax. DTK Utilities General Usage The following table lists the general usage models of the DTK utilities: Table 2. DTK Utilities Utilities Usage SYSCFG syscfg --option1=[arg1] ... --optionX=[argX] or syscfg bmcoption1 --bmcsuboption1=[arg1]...
Element Description NOTE: This delimiter is not applicable to Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) sub-options. -- Prefix multi-character options. utilname Indicates the generic designation for a DTK utility name. o Indicates the generic single-character designation for an option. optionX Indicates the generic multi-character designation for a utility name, where you can use X to distinguish multiple options used in the same command line instance.
Valid / Invalid DTK Command Line Example valid syscfg -l=filename --option1 -option2 syscfg -l=/tmp/myfile.txt --floppy --bootseq invalid syscfg -i=filename --option1 -option2 syscfg -i=/tmp/myfile.txt --floppy --bootseq valid syscfg --option=argument bmcoption --option1= argument syscfg --embnic=on pcp -hostname=webserver NOTE: Do not combine options that specify report or set actions in a command line instance. Other Delimiters The following table lists the other delimiters: Table 5.
NOTE: You cannot combine options that specify read or write actions in a command line instance. Table 6. Read and Write Command Examples Valid/Invalid DTK Command Line Example valid syscfg --option1 --option2 valid syscfg --option1=arg --option2=arg invalid syscfg --option1=arg --option2 File Input And Output Commands • Specify the file input using the -i command, where is the name of the input file.
3 DTK Seamless package The DTK Seamless package is a single installer package that carries Linux DTK RPMs (RHEL, SLES) and its dependency. Seamless package — Downloading and Installing This section describes the downloading and installing of DTK seamless package. The seamless package auto recognizes the OS type and its respective dependency during the installation and installs SYSCFG, RAIDCFG, and RACADM tools on post Linux operating system.
4 SYSCFG This section documents the Deployment Toolkit (DTK) system configuration utility. It describes the command line parameters, configuration file format, and individual executables used to configure server BIOS and Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) settings, DTK state settings, and system information including PCI device detection. Features The SYSCFG utility: • Displays help and usage information. • Outputs configuration options to a file or screen.
envar Table 8. SYSCFG General — envar Valid Arguments Description Stores the environment variable data to a file when used with the – s option. This file can be called from other scripts to set the environment variable. The value of must not be specified if the DTKENVSCR environment variable is set to a valid filename. In this case, the filename pointed to by DTKENVSCR is used to store the environment variable data. Example: syscfg --mem -s=temp --envar= Z:\scrip
i or infile Table 10. SYSCFG General — i or infile Valid Arguments Description Directs the SYSCFG utility to take input from the .ini file. The utility searches the file for a section heading identical to the utility name. An error is returned if the file or section is not found. If the section is found, each name/value pair is applied to the system. The names must match a valid option, and the arguments must be in the proper format for the option.
Example: A:>syscfg -l logfile --option= o or outfile Table 13. SYSCFG General — o or outfile Valid Arguments Description Prints all replicable options to the specified filename. The format of the output is in the .ini format, with the utility name as the section header. On PowerEdge 11G systems, if a file with the same name already exists, the information is appended to the file, but on PowerEdge 12G it overwrites the existing file.
s Table 17. SYSCFG General — s Valid Arguments Description Prints the variable name and the assigned value to the console. This option when used with --envar, picks up the environment variable data and stores it in a file. This file can be called from a script. For more information, see envar. Example: A:>syscfg -s ENVNAME --svctag svctag=SERVICE ENVNAME=SERVICE version* Table 18.
• Some of the options are followed by an asterisk. The asterisk is not part of the command syntax. Such options are used for reporting purposes only.
