The Sample - Server XML Conguration command line task allows you to apply a specic server conguration to multiple managed
nodes. Using Lifecycle Controller 2 version 1.2 or later, a server conguration summary can be exported from an iDRAC in XML
format through the “Export Server Conguration” operation.
NOTE: For information on exporting the server conguration summary using Lifecycle Controller 2, see the Conguration
XML Workows
white paper at DellTechCenter.com/LC.
The server conguration summary XML le can be applied to another iDRAC using the Sample - Server XML Conguration
command line task.
NOTE: To apply the server conguration summary from one iDRAC to another iDRAC, both the iDRACs must be of the
same generation, same license state, and so on. For more information on the requirements, see the Lifecycle Controller
(LC) XML Schema Guide
, Server Conguration XML File , and Conguration XML Workows white papers at
DellTechCenter.com/LC.
