Example-Testing a Profile

The following example shows how to use pfinstall to test a profile named basic_prof against the disk configuration on a system on which Solaris 8 is installed. The basic_prof profile is located in the /jumpstart directory, and the path to the Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 SPARC Platform Edition or Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 Intel Platform Edition CD image is specified because Volume Manager is being used.

# cd /jumpstart
# /usr/sbin/install.d/pfinstall -D -c /cdrom/pathname basic_prof

The following example shows how to use pfinstall to test the profile named basic_prof on a Solaris 8 system against the 535_test disk configuration file and 64 Mbytes of system memory. This example uses a Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 SPARC Platform Edition or Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 Intel Platform Edition CD image located in the /export/install directory.

# SYS_MEMSIZE=64
# export SYS_MEMSIZE
# /usr/sbin/install.d/pfinstall -d 535_test -c /export/install basic_prof
