Configuring Custom Profiles

You can automatically configure internal magnetic disks by using a custom or default

set of attributes, called a profile.

This set of attributes has the object type of PROFILE.

Creating a Custom Profile

The ADD PROFILE Command (page 14-32) adds a custom profile to the system

configuration database. For descriptions of ALTER PROFILE Attributes, see

page 14-76.

Creating a custom profile enables you to speed the automatic configuration of internal

disks or customize the attributes of internal disks in a specific enclosure:

1. Using the default INFO PROFILE display (page 5-11), identify the attributes you

want to change from the default profile.

2. Configure a custom profile for a specific enclosure, specifying the attributes you

want to differ from the default profile. For example, if you want all the internal disks

in enclosure 03 to be plug and play (automatically labeled and revived upon

insertion):

-> ADD PROFILE $ZZSTO.INTERNAL-DISK-3, AUTOLABEL ON, &

-> AUTOREVIVE ON

Adding a Similar Custom Profile Using the OBEYFORM Attribute

To configure the same or a similar profile, create a command file by using the

OBEYFORM attribute of the INFO DISK command. You can copy this file to another

system or add it to different configuration file on the current system.
