Command line options

DSDP supports the command line options supported in Dell Deployment Toolkit.

For more information on the command line options, usage guidelines, and syntax, see Dell OpenManage

Deployment Toolkit Version 4.4 Command Line Interface Reference Guide.

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:

NOTE: To get correct results, it is recommended that you type command line options in the Task

Sequence wizard.

—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:

The following table lists the RAIDCFG options, parameters, and pre-defined arguments for setting the name of a virtual disk on a controller.
