Configuration Replication Utility
CONREP is shipped in the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit and is a program that works with RBSU to replicate
hardware configuration on ProLiant 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, refer to the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit User Guide on the HP website
