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.
