CONREP is shipped in the Scripting Toolkit (STK) and is a program that works with RBSU to replicate

hardware configuration on ProLiant G7 and earlier servers. This utility is run during State 0, Run

Hardware Configuration Utility when doing a scripted server deployment. CONREP reads the state

of the system environment variables to determine the configuration and then writes the results to

an editable script file. This file can then be deployed across multiple servers with similar hardware

and software components. For more information, see the HP Scripting Toolkit User Guide for your

operating system environment on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/ProLiant/STK).

The following sections provide information on using CONREP scripts:

• Backing up the existing configuration (“CONREP -s (Store to Data file) ” (page 202))

• Restoring a configuration from a backup (“CONREP –l (Load from Data File)” (page 202))

CONREP -s (Store to Data file)

This is an example of usage for HP ProLiant servers not using the Oxx ROM family. To extract the

BIOS settings from an SL160z G6 server and save the configuration to an "sl160zconrep.dat"

data file:

[root@ilo002481b08134 conrep]# ./conrep -s -xconrepSL160zg6_20090728.xml -fsl160zconrep.dat

conrep 3.00 - Scripting Toolkit Configuration Replication Program

System Type: ProLiant SL160z G6

ROM Date : 07/28/2009

ROM Family : O33

Processor Manufacturer : Intel

XML System Configuration : conrep_SL160zg6_20090728.xml

Hardware Configuration : sl160zconrep.dat

Saving configuration data to sl160zconrep.dat.

CONREP Return code: 0

NOTE: The file names after the -x and -f options must be specified, otherwise, the default file

names conrep.xml and conrep.dat are used, respectively.

NOTE: A platform specific XML file needs to be used for HP ProLiant 100-series servers. If you

use the default name this may cause an error while running the CONREP utility.

CONREP –l (Load from Data File)

This is an example of usage for HP ProLiant servers not using the Oxx ROM family. To load the

BIOS configuration settings from a previously captured/edited data file (in this case

“sl160zconrep.dat”) to an SL160z G6 server:

[root@ilo002481b08134 conrep]# ./conrep -l -xconrepSL160zg6_20090728.xml -fsl160zconrep.dat
