Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit - shawfdong/hyades GitHub Wiki

Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of utilities, sample scripts, and sample configuration files that you can use to deploy and configure the Dell systems[1]. DTK contains utilities that allow you to configure the BIOS, Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), Remote Access Controller (RAC), RAID controllers, and hard-drive partitions on supported Dell systems[2]:

  • syscfg: System Configuration Utility;
  • raidcfg: RAID Configuration Utility that reports and sets RAID configuration options;
  • racadm: RAC Configuration Utility that reports and sets RAC configuration options for Dell Remote Access Controller DRAC5, iDRAC6, and iDRAC7;
  • upinit: Disk Partitioning Utility that creates, formats, and populates a Dell Utility Partition. We have no use for upinit.
DTK can be installed from the DTK Linux ISO image (see Rocks - RPMs); or it can be installed from the Dell Linux Repository (see Dell OpenManage). As of November 2015, the Linux ISO image is for DTK v4.4.0 (part of OpenManage v7.4.0); while the Dell Linux Repository provides the newer DTK v5.1.0 (part of OpenManage v8.1.0).

raidcfg

The raidcfg utility is used to configure and report RAID-related information for supported RAID controllers. The utility abstracts any hardware differences in the RAID controllers and allows administrators to use standardized command-line interface (CLI) commands across all supported controllers on supported PowerEdge systems[3].

Install raidcfg: 

# yum install raidcfg

Displays help and usage information of raidcfg: 

# /opt/dell/toolkit/bin/raidcfg -h

Lists all controllers on the host: 

# /opt/dell/toolkit/bin/raidcfg controller
or 
# /opt/dell/toolkit/bin/raidcfg -ctrl

On Pleiades, the output is: 

      Controller_ID/Slot_ID: 0
          Controller_PCI_ID: 2:14:0
            Controller_Name: PERC 5/i Integrated
                   Channels: 2
        No.of Virtual_Disks: 1
                Array_Disks: 0:0:1,0:1:1,0:2:1,0:3:1
           Firmware Version: 5.2.2-0072
            Preserved Cache: Not Available
T10 Protection Info Capable: No
         Encryption Capable: No
     Encryption Key Present: Not Applicable

Display the physical disks attached to controller specified: 

# /opt/dell/toolkit/bin/raidcfg pdisk controllerid=0
or 
# /opt/dell/toolkit/bin/raidcfg -pd -c=0

List all the virtual disks under the indicated controllers: 

# /opt/dell/toolkit/bin/raidcfg vdisk controllerid=0
or 
# /opt/dell/toolkit/bin/raidcfg -vd -c=0
NOTE raidcfg doesn't appear to require /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/srvadmin-services.sh to be started to function.
