Configuration Replication Utility
ConRep is shipped in the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit and is a program that
works with RBSU to replicate hardware configuration on ProLiant servers. This
utility is run during State 0, Run Hardware Configuration Utility, when doing a
scripted server deployment. ConRep reads the state of the system environment
variables to determine the configuration and then writes the results to an editable
script file. This file can then be deployed across multiple servers with similar
hardware and software components. For more information, refer to the
SmartStart Scripting Toolkit User Guide on the HP website
(http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/toolkit/documentatio
n.html).
HP ROM-Based Setup Utility
RBSU, an embedded configuration utility, performs a wide range of
configuration activities that may include:
• Configuring system devices and installed options
• Displaying system information
• Selecting the primary boot controller
• Configuring memory options
• Language selection
For more information on RBSU, refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User
Guide on the Documentation CD or the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/servers/smartstart
).
NOTE: Enable the SATA SW RAID option under the Advanced Options
menu to enable RAID capability for the server.
Using RBSU
The first time you power up the server, the system prompts you to enter RBSU
and select a language. Default configuration settings are made at this time and
can be changed later. Most of the features in RBSU are not required to set up the
server.
