Running RACCAP.BAT or raccap.sh

To run the RACCAP.BAT or raccap.sh sample script to capture the RAC conguration information in the raccfg.ini le:

1 Edit the startnet.cmd le (on your Windows PE image) or start-up script le (on your embedded Linux image) to call the RACCAP.BAT

or raccap.sh script after the network share with the pre-built DTK directory structure is mounted. For example, add:

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
