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 on 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
(

n.html

).

ROM-Based Setup Utility

RBSU, an embedded configuration utility, performs a wide range of
configuration activities that may include:



Configuring system devices and installed options

Displaying system information

Selecting the primary boot controller

For more information on RBSU, refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User
Guide

Using RBSU

The first time you power up the server, the system prompts you to enter RBSU
and select a language. Default configuration settings are made at this time and
can be changed later. Most of the features in RBSU are not required to set up the
server.

To navigate RBSU, use the following keys:

To access RBSU, press the F9 key during power up when prompted in the
upper right corner of the screen.
