CLI Guide

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)
• System Name
• BIOS Version
If these values do not match the values found on the system, the le input operation fails.
The following is the SYSCFG behavior during replication:
• Options not available in SYSCFG are termed invalid options. If SYSCFG encounters an invalid option in the syscfg.ini le, the SYSCFG
utility terminates.
• Unsupported options are options available in SYSCFG but not applicable on certain systems. If SYSCFG encounters an unsupported
option, SYSCFG logs this option and continues to the next option.
• Unsupported arguments are arguments valid in SYSCFG but not applicable on certain systems. If SYSCFG encounters an unsupported
argument, SYSCFG terminates.
• SYSCFG logs a message in the log le for each option processed in the syscfg.ini le. To generate the log le, use the logle option.
RAID Replication
The RAID replication feature reads the RAID conguration information from the source system and creates a raid.ini le. This raid.ini le
can be applied to the RAID congurations of the target system. The RAID replication requires both, the source system and the target
system to have similar RAID controllers.
RACADM Replication
The RACREP.BAT sample script applies RAC conguration options to the target system based on the conguration information that has
been saved in a conguration le. User input is optional, depending on variables set in the RACREP.BAT sample script. This script uses the
RACADM.EXE utility to congure the RAC in the target system using the RAC conguration le, raccfg.ini. The raccfg.ini conguration
le is passed as the rst parameter to the RACREP.BAT script. If this parameter is not passed, the default variable values used in this script
are set in the TKENVSET.BAT scripts. An optional second parameter can be passed to this le, which species the IP address used in
conguring the RAC. The raccfg.ini le is generated with the RACCAP.BAT sample script.
