Importing Server Conguration Prole
Module: dellemc_import_server_cong_prole
Synopsis
You can import an SCP le (in an XML or JSON format) exported from a golden PowerEdge server conguration to one or more servers,
thus achieving an eortless, consistent, and automated deployment. Importing an SCP le is useful in restoring the conguration of the
server to the state stored in the prole.
You can import SCP from a local or a remote share to iDRAC. For a remote share, make sure that a network share path and the le name
are available. If there are component congurations (such as BIOS, RAID, NIC, iDRAC, and so on) present in the SCP le that require a
server restart, you can use the I(shutdown_type) argument to specify whether a Graceful or Forced shutdown of the server is required.
