Compare Profile

Introduction

This operation checks the difference between the values of the parameters stored in a profile and the values of the same parameter collected from a running configuration of the system. If this action is performed from a Profile view, where a profile has been selected, the context chooser contains systems and groups. The comparison action is performed on the selected systems and groups. If called from a Systems view, where a single system has been selected, the reference profile is the one contained in the last deployed template on this system. The context chooser also contains systems and groups. The comparison action is performed on the selected systems and groups.

Click OK to check the values of the parameters of a single profile against the running configuration of target systems and groups. If one of the selected groups does not contain systems managed by AIX Profile Manager, the action skips those systems and you must confirm whether you want to continue the compare action or not.
