Preparing the Script Files for Deployment Using Embedded Linux

partcfg.sh
The partcfg.sh sample script creates and populates the Dell utility partition
using upinit.sh and creates the deployment partition on a specified disk.
(See "upinit.sh" for more information about using the upinit.sh tool.)
User input is not required to run this script. The default variable values used
in this script are set in the
tkenvset.sh scripts.
NOTE:
Ensure that DT_HD is set to the required disk to be configured before you
execute the partcfg.sh script.
Using the DTK Sample Scripts to Capture
Configuration Information in Embedded Linux
The syscfg and racadm utilities can read the source system configuration and
duplicate that configuration on a target system using a sample DTK script
file. These configuration files are used during a full deployment to configure
the target system’s BIOS, BMC, and RAC settings. The following sections
provide instructions for using the
syscap.sh and raccap.sh sample scripts to
create configuration files.
Capturing the System BIOS and BMC Configuration With the syscap.sh
Sample Script
You can replicate the system BIOS and BMC configurations from a source
Dell system to an identical target Dell system (for example, from one
PowerEdge™ 1850 to another PowerEdge 1850).
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.sh
The syscap.sh sample script captures BIOS and BMC configuration settings
and saves them to a specified location. An optional user input can be passed
as a parameter. You can provide the path or file name as an input to this
script. The default variable values used in this script are set in the script to
the correct default values to perform a scripted deployment. The
syscap.sh
script uses the syscfg utility to retrieve BIOS and BMC configuration settings
from the source system and to save the settings in a file named syscfg.ini in
the
Z:\Dell\Toolkit\Systems\<target system>
directory.
