Command Syntax Overview

Syntax refers to the way a command and its parameters are entered. CLI commands can be arranged in any order in a command line instance as long as they conform to the basic command line syntax.

Command Line Syntax

The general usage models of the CCTK utilities are as follows:

CCTK --option1=[arg1] or cctk --option1=[arg1]...--optionX=[argX]

NOTE: Some of the options in CCTK are followed by an asterisk. You can use such

options only for reporting purposes and cannot use the reporting options with set options.

The following table lists the generic command line characters and arguments present in the command line options with a short description of these characters.

Element Description

- Prefix single-character options.

-- Prefix multi-character options.

utilname Indicates the generic designation for a CCTK utility name.

-o Indicates the generic single-character designation for an option.

optionX Indicates the generic multi-character designation for a utility name,

where you can use X to distinguish multiple options used in the same command line instance.

argX Indicates the generic designation for an argument, where you can use X

to distinguish multiple arguments used in the same command line instance.

Read and Write Options

You cannot combine the options that specify read and write actions in a command line instance. The following table provides examples for read and write commands.

Valid or Invalid CCTK Command Line Example

valid cctk --option1 --option2 valid cctk --option1=arg --option2=arg invalid cctk --option1=arg --option2

18 Command Line Interface

File Input and Output Commands

Specify the input file using the -i=<filename> command, where <filename> is the name of the input file. Specify the output file input using the – o=<filename> command, where <filename> is the name of the output file.

Log Files

The -l=<filename> or --logfile=<filename> option records information output on the command line to the specified log file.

If the log file already exists, information is appended to the file. This allows multiple tools to use the same log file to record information. Use this option to record the output of a utility.

The log duplicates all standard output and error information to the specified file. Each log file begins with a time stamp and utility name. For example, YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS <utilname> - <output text>.

The following is an example of the logging behavior:

2010/05/16 10:23:17 cctk - option1=on 2010/05/16 10:23:17 cctk - option2=on 2010/05/16 10:23:17 cctk - option3=off

Error Checking and Error Messages

The CCTK utilities check your commands for correct syntax when you enter them. Unrecognized or invalid options and arguments result in a usage error that displays the CCTK utility name and version along with the message.

Client Configuration Toolkit Options

This chapter provides an overview of the Dell Client Configuration Toolkit (CCTK) options. It describes the general and BIOS options to configure settings for the client systems.

CCTK options can be divided into:

•

General options — applicable to all systems

•

BIOS options

NOTE: If you are running CCTK commands on systems running Windows Vista

or later, you must run the commands with the administrator privileges. Running the command displays a pop-up window where you can enter the administrator ID and password.

NOTE: If you run CCTK commands on systems running Windows XP, Windows

Vista or later without administrator privileges, the following error message is displayed: 'admin/root' privileges required to

execute this application.

General Options

The following are the general options of CCTK.

— applicable only if the BIOS of the system supports.

NOTE: Some of the options in CCTK are followed by an asterisk. These options do

not accept any suboptions or arguments. The values associated with these options are those that are reported by the BIOS. You cannot modify these values.

-h or --help

Valid Argument none or <valid option name>

Client Configuration Toolkit Options 21

Description Without an argument, this option displays general usage

information for the utility. If the argument matches a valid option, the usage information of the option is displayed. If the option has arguments, the arguments are displayed, separated by a | character. If the argument is supported on the system, a + symbol is displayed with the argument. If the option has suboptions, all suboptions, valid arguments, and a description are listed. If the argument does not match a valid option, a usage error is given (and usage information is displayed).

Example C:\>cctk -h --asfmode

asfmode: Sets the asf (alert standard format) mode. DASH and ASF 2.0 set enables LOM to have DASH and ASF 2.0 functionality.

Arguments: off

| on+ | alertonly

-i or --infile

Valid Argument <filename>

Description Directs the CCTK utility to take input from an ini file. The utility

searches the file for a CCTK heading identical to the utility name. An error is returned if the file or section is not found. If the section is found, each name/value pair is applied to the system. The names must match a valid option, and the arguments must be in the proper format for the option. If an option is not available on a system and it is specified in a file, the utility ignores the option. If any errors are found in the format of the names or values, that option is skipped. The remaining options are applied to the system.

If this option is used with other function command options, they are applied in the order in which they appear on the command line, overriding any previous commands.

In the ini file, bootorder is displayed as a list of comma separated device short forms in the order they are assigned.

For example:

22 Client Configuration Toolkit Options

bootorder=legacytype,+pcmcia,+hdd.1,-floppy,+cdrom,hdd.2,+nic.1,-hdd.3,+nic.2

A plus (+) symbol with the device name indicates that the device is enabled and a minus (

) symbol indicates that the device is disabled. You can enable or disable the devices by changing the symbol displayed with the device short name. These symbols are optional and if not present, the current status of the device is retained.

NOTE: If the operating system is booted in the UEFI mode, then the

bootorder type will be shown as uefitype.

Change the boot order by changing the order of the list. You can also enter the device number instead of the device name.

NOTE: The bootorder option in the ini file is applied to a system based

on its active boot list. If the ini file is generated from a system with the active boot list set as uefi, and it is applied on a system with the active boot list set as legacy, the boot order is set only on devices that are available in the system. It is recommended that you apply the ini file on a system with the same active boot list as of the system from where the ini file is generated.

Example C:\>cctk -i <c:/cctk>/filename.ini

-l or --logfile

Valid Argument <filename>

Description Logs the command line output to a time-stamped file. The utility

either appends the information to an existing log file or creates a new file. The log file contains the same information as the standard output, plus timestamp information. Users should use this option instead of redirection for task diagnosis.

Example C:\>cctk -l <c:/cctk>/logfile

No option

Valid Argument NA

Description If an option is not given, the CCTK utility outputs usage

information. The usage information is displayed in the format shown below.

Client Configuration Toolkit Options 23

Example C:\>cctk

Usage error. cctk Version 2.1.0 0498 (Windows - Feb 2 2012,

Usage: cctk --option[=argument] For more information about a particular

command, use the option '-h' followed by the command name.

Example: cctk -h --asset

-o or --outfile

Vali d A rg ume n t <filename>

Description Writes all BIOS options, that you can replicate to the BIOS of

another system, to the specified filename. The file name you specify should have ini extension and should be created in the default installation directory. The format of the output is in an ini format, with the utility name as the section header. If a file with the same name already exists, the information is appended to the file. If this option is used with other function commands, the commands are applied in the order in which they appear. This option captures replicable BIOS options. The file is created in the directory where you run the CCTK command.

In the ini file, bootorder is displayed as a list of comma separated device short forms in the order they are assigned. A plus (+) symbol with the device name indicates that the device is enabled and a minus (-)symbol indicates that the device is disabled. You can change the boot order by changing the order of the list. You can also enter the device number instead of the device name.

You can enable or disable the devices by changing the symbol displayed with the device. These symbols are optional and if not present, the current status of the device is retained.

24 Client Configuration Toolkit Options

NOTE:

The bootorder option in the ini file is applied to a system based on its active boot list. If the ini file is generated from a system with the active boot list set as uefi, and it is applied on a system with the active boot list set as legacy, the boot order is set only on devices that are available in the system. It is recommended that you apply the ini file on a system with the same active boot list as of the system from where the ini file is generated.

Example C:\>cctk -o <c:/cctk>/filename.ini

--propowntag

Valid Argument NA

Description Sets the Dell property ownership tag. If an option is not given,
