Importing Server Configuration Profile
Module: dellemc_import_server_config_profile
Synopsis
You can import the SCP which was previously exported for that same server, or group of servers. Importing SCP is useful in
restoring the configuration of the server to the state stored in the profile.
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
file name are available. If the import file Import.xml specifies some configuration changes that require a server restart (such
as in iDRAC, BIOS, NIC, or RAID configuration), you can use the shutdown_type parameter to specify whether a Graceful or a
Forced shutdown of the server is required.
