Toolkit utilities 31
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
ProLiant 300, 500, and 700 series servers. 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
(
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 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.
