CONREP is shipped in the Scripting Toolkit (STK) 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.

Configuration Replication Utility
NOTE:
This utility is available for HP ProLiant G7 and earlier servers.
CONREP is shipped in the Scripting Toolkit (STK) 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, see the HP Scripting Toolkit User Guide for your
operating system environment, on the HP website (

HP ROM Configuration Utility
NOTE:
This utility is available for HP ProLiant Gen8 and later servers.
HPRCU is a configuration utility similar to CONREP. However, unlike CONREP that uses a definition
XML file, HPRCU directly reads the same table that RBSU uses for feature names and settings. All
features and options are number based in HPRCU, with each feature and option having a unique
number.
HPRCU features:
•
Simple user interface—All system ROM settings and the current selections are listed together
in one output/input XML file.
•
Few updates—No updated binary or XML file is needed when BIOS adds or changes features.
HPRCU now reads the same tables that RBSU does, which are located in the memory at system
boot. When the BIOS changes or adds a new setting, no update to HPRCU is needed.
•
Default ROM settings—The HPRCU XML file shows users the default settings for each RBSU
option.

Array Configuration Replication Utility
ACR is shipped in the Scripting Toolkit and is a replication utility used for RAID arrays. ACR is
used during State 0, Run Array Configuration Utility when doing a scripted server deployment. It
duplicates the host array controller configuration utilities and writes them onto an editable script
file. This file is then loaded onto a startup diskette for deployment to other servers.
