Conguring PowerEdge Servers
Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with LC provide the ability to generate a human-readable representation of server
conguration using Server Conguration Prole (SCP) feature. This le contains BIOS, iDRAC, LC, network, and RAID conguration
settings. You can modify this le as per your need and apply to other servers.
The SCP feature is used in the Ansible module to automate the conguration activity of PowerEdge servers and their components.
