. However, you must do the following changes to the
syntax, for the commands to run in DSDP.
The SYSCFG and RAIDCFG commands are supported in DSDP
• SYSCFG — The Deployment Toolkit (DTK) system configuration utility SYSCFG commands enable you to run
commands to get information on configuration file format, and individual executables used to configure server BIOS,
DTK state settings, and system information including PCI device detection.
• RAIDCFG — The Deployment Toolkit (DTK) RAID configuration utility RAIDCFG provides commands to configure all
supported RAID controllers.
When using the SYSCFG commands, do the following changes to the commands, for example:

—acpower
Option
--acpower
Valid Arguments on, off, last
Description Sets the behavior for the system after AC power is lost. This option specifies
how the system responds to the restoration of AC power and is particularly
useful in systems that are turned off using a power strip. When set to on, the
system turns on after AC is restored. When set to off, the system does not turn
on after AC is restored. When set to
last, the system turns on if the system was
on when AC power was lost; if the system was off when AC power was lost, the
system remains off when power is restored. This option can be replicated.
Example:
A:>syscfg --acpower=on acpower=on
Applicable Systems All Dell PowerEdge systems prior to PowerEdge 12G systems.
When using this command in DSDP, remove syscfg and run the command
--acpower=on acpower=on
When using the RAIDCFG commands, do the following changes to the commands, for example:
