The Sample - Server XML Configuration command line task allows you to apply a specific server configuration to multiple managed
nodes. Using Dell Lifecycle Controller 2 version 1.2 or later, a server configuration summary can be exported from an iDRAC in XML
format through the “Export Server Configuration” operation.
NOTE: For information on exporting the server configuration summary using Lifecycle Controller 2, see the
Configuration XML Workflows
white paper at DellTechCenter.com/LC.
The server configuration summary XML file can be applied to another iDRAC using the Sample - Server XML Configuration
command line task.
NOTE: To apply the server configuration summary from one iDRAC to another iDRAC, both the iDRACs must be of the
same generation, same license state, and so on. For more information on the requirements, see the
Lifecycle Controller
(LC) XML Schema Guide
,
Server Configuration XML File
, and
Configuration XML Workflows
white papers at
DellTechCenter.com/LC.
