Toolkit Utilities

DTK contains utilities that allow you to congure 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 congure one-to-many target systems in a scripted mass system deployment.

System Conguration Utility

The SYSCFG utility performs the following tasks:

• Reports and sets BIOS conguration options.

• Reports and sets BMC/RAC conguration options.

• Reports and sets user-congurable states.

• Reports system information, including PCI device detection.

RAID Conguration Utility

The RAIDCFG utility reports and sets RAID conguration options.

RAC Conguration Utility

The RACADM utility reports and sets RAC conguration 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 conguration (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 dierent systems. The le output operation places system identication 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 identication:

• System ID Byte(s)
