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.
Following are the tasks:
● View LC status
● Server Configuration Profile
● Configuring iDRAC
● Configure BIOS
● Configure storage volume
● Configure Collect System Inventory on Restart
● Configure syslog
