To Clone an Existing OS Profile

The following procedure describes how to clone or copy an existing OS profile. There are two main reasons that you would clone a profile:

• You must clone an OS profile and modify it to fit uniquely qualified hardware.

• You might clone an existing OS profile if you need to modify the profile, but cannot modify it because the profile is being installed on a managed server.

Steps

1. Log in to the N1 System Manager.

   See To Access the N1 System Manager Command Line in Sun N1 System Manager 1.3 Discovery and Administration Guide for details.

2. Type the following command:

   N1-ok> create osprofile osprofile-name clone oldprofile

   The new OS profile is created. See create osprofile in Sun N1 System Manager 1.3 Command Line Reference Manual

3. Type the following command:

   N1-ok> show osprofile osprofile-name

   The new OS profile appears in the output.
