Edit the Profile File

Update the Profile file with the names of the packages that have been added to the image. The file can be copied from an existing JumpStart image or from the newly created Solaris 8 image. Advanced users may need to create multiple profile files with unique information. A specific profile is associated with an image and one or more computers in the rules file.

To edit the profile file

1. Change to the configuration parent directory and copy the Profile file:

   cd /config_parent/ca/profile/Solaris_8
   

   cp /image_parent/sol_8/Solaris_8/Misc/jumpstart_sample/ any_machine profile
   

   cp -r /image_parent/sol_8/Solaris_8/Misc/jumpstart_sample/* .
   

2. Open the Profile file with a text editor and add the new packages to the end of the package list and before the filesys entries:

   package SMClgcc add
   

   package SMCossl add
   

   package SMCzlib add
   

   package SMCosh501 add
   

3. Save the file.
