The conrep utility replicates the configuration data stored in the EFI variables. It reads the EFI
variables from the NVRAM of a server and writes the results to a data file. It also reads the data
file and writes the data into the NVRAM of the target server. The conrep utility uses the
conrep.xml configuration file to determine the data to retrieve from the server. You can edit
this file to control the data retrieval.
