Creating a RAID Configuration Script
This bundle option only configures RAID; it cannot be used to update it. Updates are done using a
Dell Update Package .
1 Make sure the novell-proxydhcp daemon is running on a server in your network.
This service must be available so that the device’s PXE can access files from the ZENworks
server, such as the Preboot Services Menu and Dell DTK (Maintenance Mode).
2 Boot a Dell device that is PXE-enabled and press the Ctrl-Alt keys during booting.
Press these keys when a string starting with “Novell ...” is displayed during the boot process.
IMPORTANT: Choose the correct device to boot for creating the RAID script. The devices to
receive the update must be the same as the device you are using to configure the script. For
example, if the boot device is a Dell 2950, then the configured script can only be used to update
other Dell 2950 devices.
3 When the bash (#) prompt is displayed, to edit the following sample script file, first make a
copy of it where you have editing rights:
cp -a /opt/dell/toolkit/template/scripts /tmp
then to edit the copy:
vi /temp/scripts/raidcfg.sh
Modify the file as needed, then save the changes. You can save the file using any filename;
however, the filename you save it as must be provided in the Dell Configuration bundle.
Therefore, if you save to a different name, make a note of it.
WARNING: Do not reboot the device at this time, because the script you created is in a RAM
drive. (You can safely reboot after you upload the script to the TFTP server.)
4
To upload the new configuration script to your ZENworks TFTP server, enter:
tftp -l local_RAID_filename -r remote_RAID_filename_and_path -p $TFTPIP
where
local_RAID_filename
is the name of the configuration script that you are saving, and
remote_RAID_filename_and_path
is both the name and the location for where you want the
script on your ZENworks server.
The path on the ZENworks server for the remote filename should be relative to the TFTP
server’s home path, because the remote script is placed in that location. The Dell Configuration
bundle is designed to look for scripts relative to the TFTP server’s home path.

Creating a DRAC 4 or Earlier Configuration File

Do this only for Dell devices that are 8G or earlier.
