HP Scripting Toolkit for Linux 9.60 - Manual (Page 31)

can change the default using the -x option. The actual system configuration file is captured as an
XML data file. The default name is conrep.dat.
CAUTION: Improper modification of the CONREP data files can result in the loss of critical data.
Only experienced users of the Scripting Toolkit should attempt to modify the data files. Because
of the potential risk of data loss, take all necessary precautions to ensure that mission-critical systems
remain online if a failure occurs.
The CONREP utility reads the state of the system environment settings to determine the server
configuration and writes the results to a file that you can edit. The CONREP utility uses the data in
the generated file to configure the target server hardware.
The CONREP utility uses an XML definition file to determine what information to retrieve from and
restore to the server. You can modify this file to update new features or restrict features when
capturing configurations. The default conrep.xml file contains common hardware configuration
settings for most HP ProLiant series servers other than HP ProLiant 100 series servers using the Oxx
ROM family. Some platforms require special settings that are contained in other XML files. These
files are included in the Scripting Toolkit and are available from the HP website at
http://
www.hp.com on the support page for each platform. You can use these files with the -x option to
configure systems that are not supported by the default hardware configuration file.
Many fields in the conrep.xml file contain help text that enables you to configure the field
meanings. This information is also added to the conrep.dat file. Hardware features that are not
supported by the existing platform or ROM version appear in the conrep.dat file.
IMPORTANT: The file format for the DOS version of CONREP and the current version of CONREP
are not compatible.
NOTE: Asset
Tag Protection - Lock/Unlock cannot be read or changed on the HP ProLiant DL580
Gen8
server using CONREP. To change this feature, use the UEFI System Utilities. For more
information,

HP UEFI System Utilities User Guide .
