Solaris 8 Advanced Installation Guide

To Create a Profile

  1. Using a text editor of your choice, open a new text file and name it descriptively, or open a sample profile in the JumpStart directory you created.


    Note -

    Ensure that the name of the profile reflects how you intend to use it to install Solaris on a system (for example, basic_install, eng_profile, or user_profile).


  2. Add profile keywords and values to the profile.

  3. Save the profile in the JumpStart directory.

    Ensure that root owns the profile and that its permissions are set to 644.

  4. Test the profile (optional).

    "Testing a Profile" contains information about testing profiles.
