## NAME

> nodeprof.conf - `permit the customization of Solaris installation`

## SYNOPSIS

> `nodeprof.conf`

## DESCRIPTION

> When installing a cluster with `nhinstall`, you can customize the Solaris installation using the `nodeprof.conf` file. When the `nodeprof.conf` file is present in your configuration directory, its contents supersede the default profile used by `nhinstall`.

> The templates for the configuration files are contained in the `/opt/SUNWcgha/config.standard` directory with `.template` extensions. Copy the configuration files to a local directory on the installation server as follows:

> >     # mkdir config-file-directory
> >     # export NHOME=/opt/SUNWcgha/config.standard
> >     # cd config-file-directory
> >     # cp $NHOME/nodeprof.conf.template nodeprof.conf

> Note – All the configuration files must be in the same local directory on the installation server.

> For information on the format of the `nodeprof.conf` file see Preparing Custom JumpStart Installations (Tasks) in the Solaris Installation Guide. Do not define disks and partitions in the `nodeprof.conf` file because `nhinstall` automatically adds these configuration details to the file. This means that you must not define the `boot_device`, `root_device`, `filesys` or `usedisk` commands because the configuration information for the disks is defined in the `cluster_definition.conf` file.

> The metacluster which is defined the first time you use the `cluster` command in the `nodeprof.conf` file is used as the metacluster for diskless nodes and is given as an argument to the `smosservice` command.

> If you do not want to install the same Solaris distribution on diskless nodes as you have installed on master-eligible nodes, create a `diskless_nodeprof.conf` file. For more information, see the `diskless_nodeprof`(4) man page.

> Note – You cannot use `nhinstall` to install software on dataless nodes.
