Configuring PowerEdge Servers
Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with LC provide the ability to generate a human-readable representation of
server configuration using Server Configuration Profile (SCP) feature. This file contains BIOS, iDRAC, LC, network, and RAID
configuration settings. You can modify this file as per your need and apply to other servers.
The SCP feature is used in the Ansible module to automate the configuration activity of PowerEdge servers and their
components.
NOTE: OpenManage Ansible Modules version 1.0.1 supports iDRAC firmware version 2.50.50.50 and later.
