HP DL385 - ProLiant - G5 User Manual

Configuration and utilities 63
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/documentation.html
).
HP ROM-Based Setup Utility
RBSU is a configuration utility embedded in ProLiant servers that performs a wide range of configuration
activities that can include the following:
• Configuring system devices and installed options
• Enabling and disabling system features
• Displaying system information
• Selecting the primary boot controller
• Configuring memory options
• Language selection
For more information on RBSU, see the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD
or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support/smartstart/documentation
).
Using RBSU
To use RBSU, use the following keys:
• To access RBSU, press the F9 key during power-up when prompted.
• To navigate the menu system, use the arrow keys.
• To make selections, press the Enter key.
• To access Help for a highlighted configuration option, press the F1 key.
IMPORTANT: RBSU automatically saves settings when you press the Enter key. The utility does
not prompt you for confirmation of settings before you exit the utility. To change a selected
setting, you must select a different setting and press the Enter key.
Default configuration settings are applied to the server at one of the following times:
• Upon the first system power-up
• After defaults have been restored
Default configuration settings are sufficient for proper typical server operation, but configuration settings
can be modified using RBSU. The system will prompt you for access to RBSU with each power-up.
Auto-configuration process
The auto-configuration process automatically runs when you boot the server for the first time. During the
power-up sequence, the system ROM automatically configures the entire system without needing any
