How to Create a Profile by Using svccfg

1. Create a profile.

   The svccfg extract command displays a service profile for the specified service or instance for the admin and site-profile layers. To extract values from other layers, use the -l option.

   $ svccfg extract -l current network/dns/client > dnsclientprofile.xml

2. Make any necessary changes to the profile.

   Change the name of the profile to a meaningful name. By default, the name is set to extract, as shown in the following example:

   <service_bundle type='profile' name='extract'>

3. Copy the profile to the correct directory.

   $ cp dnsclientprofile.xml /etc/svc/profile/site/dnsclientprofile.xml

4. Restart the manifest import service to apply the profile to the system.

   $ svcadm restart manifest-import
