How to Create a Profile by Using `sysconfig`

Create the profile.
Run the SCI Tool and create a system configuration profile. The default location for the profile is /system/volatile/profile/sc_profile.xml. Use the -o option to specify a different directory for the profile file.

The following command creates a new profile in the siteAprofiles directory that includes network and naming_services configuration. See the sysconfig(8) man page for the complete list of functional groupings (-g) that can be configured.
```
$ sysconfig create-profile -g network,naming_services -o ./siteAprofiles
```
The SCI tool opens and prompts you for the configuration values.
Make any necessary changes to the profile.
The profile is in ./siteAprofiles/sc_profile.xml. You might want to change sc_profile.xml to a more meaningful and unique name.
```
$ cp ./siteAprofiles/sc_profile.xml ./siteAprofiles/netnamingSiteA.xml
```
Make any changes that are necessary for the target systems.
Copy the profile to the correct directory.
The following command indicates that this profile is for all systems at a given locale or site:
```
$ cp ./siteAprofiles/netnamingSiteA.xml /etc/svc/profile/site/
```
Change the ownership and permissions of the profile as necessary.
Restart the manifest import service to apply the profile to the system.
```
$ svcadm restart manifest-import
```
Check the manifest-import service log file for messages about property value conflicts or any other error messages.
```
$ svcs -Lv manifest-import
```
Use the svcs -x command to check that no services are in maintenance.
