Can you try -b option while importing the SCP configuration. Below is a sample command for same. Please note until unless you reboot the server the settings will not be applied racadm set -t xml -f config.xml -b NoReboot You can run the command racadm help set for more details on various options available. Below link also have same details [URL]   
I have a rack full of C6420's that I want to set to have identical BIOS settings. Now on older systems like the C6220 etc. I could set one system up how I wanted, save all the settings and then apply them to all the other systems using the setupbios tool. However, I can't find a way to do this on the C6420's. This page suggests it can be done with the setupbios tool, but the link takes me to the older poweredgec website and well that version does not support the C6420 [URL] It seems slightly doubtful that there is no way to set up a bunch of "cloud" servers to all have the same BIOS settings. So I must be missing something somewhere. I can see I could manually change individual settings using the RACADM tool but that is not terribly useful.
