Synopsis

conrep ( -l [-f <DAT FILENAME] [-F] | -s [–x <XML FILENAME>] [-f <DAT
FILENAME>] | -c | -d | -h ) [-v] | -m

Description

The conrep utility replicates the configuration data stored in the EFI variables. It reads the EFI
variables from the NVRAM of the model server and writes the results to a DAT file. It also reads
the DAT file and writes this data into the NVRAM of the target server. The conrep utility uses
the conrep.xml file to determine what data to retrieve from the server. You can edit this file
to control the data collection.
