On systems running Windows:

Z:\Dell\x64\Toolkit\Template\Scripts\RACCAP.BAT Z:\raccfg.ini

On systems running Linux:

/opt/dell/toolkit/template/scripts/raccap.sh

2. Boot the source system into Windows PE or embedded Linux.

The script runs and saves the conguration information in the \Toolkit\Systems\<target system> directory on systems running

Windows and /opt/dell/toolkit/systems/<target system> directory on systems running Linux.

3. Edit the startnet.cmd le (Windows PE image) or start-up script le (embedded Linux image) to remove the text you added in

step 1.

NOTE: The RAC conguration le is referred to as the .cfg le in the

The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9

(iDRAC9) User's Guide

. See these guides for additional information about manually creating a RAC conguration

le.

NOTE: Do not replicate the RAC IP address when creating a .cfg le. Replicating the RAC IP address can leave the

system inaccessible because multiple systems are congured with the same IP address.

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.

RACCAP.BAT or raccap.sh

The RACCAP.BAT or raccap.sh sample script captures RAC conguration settings and saves them to a specied location. An

optional user input can be passed as a parameter. You can provide the path or le 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. On systems running Windows, the

RACCAP.BAT uses the RACADM.EXE utility to retrieve RAC conguration settings from the source system and to save it in raccfg.ini

le at \Toolkit\Systems\<target system>. On systems running Linux, the raccap.sh script uses the racadm wrapper script or the

syscfg utility (depending on the RAC version on your system) to retrieve RAC conguration settings from the source system and to

save it in raccfg.ini at /opt/dell/toolkit/systems/<target system>.

NOTE: Ensure that you run RACCAP.BAT in a writable environment. If you run RACCAP.BAT in a read-only environment,

DTK displays the message

<filename.ini> has been generated.

UPINIT.BAT or upinit.sh

The UPINIT.BAT or upinit.sh is a tool used to create and populate a new Dell utility partition and to upgrade or downgrade an existing

utility partition.

NOTE: You can use this script to create a new Dell utility partition only if there are no existing partitions on your hard

disk.

Upgrades or downgrades can be made only to existing Dell utility partitions to capture BIOS and BMC settings using the overwrite

option.

CAUTION: The existing Dell utility partition must be the rst primary partition on the hard disk. Also, the Dell utility

partition must be greater than or equal to 32 MB and less than 2 GB in BIOS mode.

For details on the command line arguments to be used for UPINIT.BAT or upinit.sh, see the Dell EMC Deployment Toolkit Command

Line Interface Reference Guide dell.com/openmanagemanuals.

Preparing the operating system installation scripts

The W2K12INST.BAT script (on systems running supported Windows operating systems), the linux scripts (on systems running

supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server operating system), and suseinst.sh sample script (on systems running supported SUSE

Linux Enterprise Server operating system) are used to perform an installation. The variables and paths must be specied before the

operating system can be installed. For more information on installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, see

the Dell EMC OpenManage Deployment Toolkit Installation Guide available at dell.com/openmanagemanuals.
