Using DTK sample scripts to capture conguration
information
The SYSCFG and RACADM utilities can read the source system conguration and duplicate that conguration on a target system using a
sample DTK script le. These conguration les are used during a full deployment to congure the BIOS, BMC, and RAC settings on the
target system. The following sections provide instructions for:
• Capturing The System BIOS And BMC Conguration With The SYSCAP Or syscap Sample Script
• Capturing The RAC Conguration With The RACCAP Or raccap Sample Script
Capturing the system BIOS and BMC conguration with the
SYSCAP or syscap.sh sample script
You can replicate the system BIOS and BMC congurations from a source Dell system to an identical target Dell system.
NOTE: For the script to complete successfully, the source system must have access to the network share that includes the
prebuilt DTK directory structure.
SYSCAP.BAT or syscap.sh
The SYSCAP.BAT or syscap.sh sample script captures BIOS and BMC 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. The SYSCAP.BAT or syscap.sh script uses
the SYSCFG utility to retrieve BIOS and BMC conguration settings from the source system and to save the settings in a le named
syscfg.ini in the Z:\Dell\Toolkit\Systems\<target system> directory.
Running the SYSCAP.BAT or Syscap.sh
To run the SYSCAP.BAT or syscap.sh sample script to capture the BIOS and BMC conguration information in the syscfg.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 SYSCAP.BAT
or syscap.sh script after the network share with the pre-built DTK directory structure is mounted. For example, add:
On systems running Windows:
call Z:\Dell\Toolkit\Template\Scripts\SYSCAP.BAT
On systems running Linux:
/opt/dell/toolkit/template/scripts /syscap.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 in Windows and /opt/dell/
toolkit/systems/<target system> directory in 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 racrep.sh and sysrep.sh have duplicate functions. If you run racrep.sh followed by sysrep.sh, the latter
overwrites the former settings.
