Module: dellemc_import_server_config_profile
Synopsis
You can import an SCP file (in an XML or JSON format) exported from a golden PowerEdge server configuration to one or
more servers, thus achieving an effortless, consistent, and automated deployment. Importing an SCP file 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 there are component configurations (such as BIOS, RAID, NIC, iDRAC, and so on) present in the
SCP file 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.
Check_mode support: No
NOTE: This module is deprecated and replaced with idrac_server_config_profile.
