Exporting an AI Manifest or a System Configuration Profile

The installadm export command copies the contents of AI manifests or system configuration profiles of an install service to a file or directory.

Use the –o pathname option to specify where the manifest and profile contents are exported. If you omit this option, contents are generated in stdout. If you are exporting multiple files, then pathname must be a directory.

The specified manifest can be the name of an XML AI manifest or a derived manifests script.

    Use the installadm export command for the following tasks:

  • Check the specifications in a manifest or a profile.

  • Modify an existing manifest or profile.

  • Use an existing manifest or profile as a base for creating a new manifest or profile.
