Dell Command | Configure Version 3.0 Command Line Interface Reference Guide

-i or --infile

Valid Argument

< filename>

Description

Directs the Command Configure utility to take input from an INI file. The utility searches the file for a Command Configure 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 devices with their short forms in the order they are assigned separated by commas.

For example:

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 Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) mode, then the bootorder type is shown as UEFI type.

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
