HP CONREP utility
The conrep utility reads the state of the system environment settings to determine an HP Proliant
server configuration and writes the results to an XML data file. You can edit this file and use it to
reset the system configuration on the same server or to duplicate the hardware configuration on
another HP ProLiant server.
The utility uses the XML file called hardware definition file to determine what information to retrieve
from and restore to the server. You can make a copy of this file and edit the copy to update new
features or restrict features when capturing server configurations. The default conrep.xml file contains
common hardware configuration settings for the supported HP ProLiant series servers. You can
change the default using –x file option.
CAUTION: Improper modification of the conrep.xml file can result in the loss of critical data.
Only experienced users should attempt to modify the file.
The server configuration information is captured in the default conrep.dat data file. This file is an
XML data file which contains the actual system configuration retrieved from the ROM-Based Setup
Utility (RBSU). You can edit this data file to restore the settings or use –f file option to change the
default.
CAUTION: Improper modification of the conrep.dat file can result in the loss of critical data.
Only experienced users should attempt to modify the data files. Because of the potential risk of
data loss, take all necessary precautions to ensure that mission-critical systems remain online if a
failure occurs.
The utility runs in a command-line mode and must be executed from an operating system
command-line and can be accessed from the location: /opt/hp/tools. You can also find the
default conrep.xml file here.
The conrep utility only supports HP ProLiant 300/400/500/700/800/900 and Blade servers. In
addition, all of Proliant 100 series Gen8, Gen9 that are listed in the vSphere Server Support Matrix
are supported. To visit the vSphere Server Matrix page, go to www.hp.com/go/vmwareand select
Certified ProLiant’s under Tools/Resource section.
