Capturing a reference configuration from the source server

1. Boot the CD that contains the customized WinPE image on the source server.
2. Open a command window.
3. Capture the system settings from the source server using the CONREP utility:
   1. Change to the directory where CONREP resides.
   2. Save the current system configuration to a data file in the \data directory you created on the network share:

      conrep -s -fs:\data\filename

      Choose a file name that is descriptive of the source server; for instance, dl380g3.xml.

4. Capture the storage settings:
   1. Change to the directory in which HPACUSCRIPTING resides.
   2. Save the current array configuration to a data file in the \data directory you created on the network share:

      hpacuscripting -c s:\data\filename

      Choose a file name that is descriptive of the source array; for instance, dl380g3array.ini.

5. Verify that the new output files are present in the \data directory.

You cannot capture and apply Lights-Out settings using HPONCFG in the same fashion as CONREP and HPACUSCRIPTING. For more information, see "Using HPONCFG."
