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.
