To Clone an Existing OS Profile

The following procedure describes how to clone or copy an existing OS profile. You might want to clone an existing OS profile if you need to modify it, but cannot do so because it is deployed. A deployed OS profile is a profile that is currently being installed on a provisionable server.

Before You Begin

Move any file systems off the /mnt mount point.

Steps

1. Log in to the N1 System Manager.

   See To Access the N1 System Manager Command Line for details.

2. Type the following command:

   N1-ok> create osprofile osprofile clone oldprofile

   The new OS profile is created. See create osprofile in Sun N1 System Manager 1.1 Command Line Reference Manual

3. Type the following command:

   N1-ok> show osprofile osprofile

   The new OS profile appears in the output.
