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
ROM-based enhancements overview
Some HP ProLiant servers have new ROM-based enhancements available,
including:
• An auto-configuration process that, in most cases, automatically configures
the entire system without intervention
• The System Maintenance menu, which provides embedded server
diagnostics and Inspect Utility information through Embedded Server Setup
• A new erase option for RBSU, which erases the system configuration and
boot drive
For details about which features the server supports, refer to the server-specific
documentation.
