Retrieve Profile

Introduction

Select this option to retrieve the values of the parameters that are specified by a profile from the running configuration of systems and groups.

If the action is performed from the View and Manage Profile page where a profile has been selected, the context chooser menu contains systems and groups. This action is then performed on the selected systems and groups.

If the action is performed from the View and Manage Systems page, where a single system has been selected, the reference profile is the one included in the last deployed template on that system. The context chooser menu also contains systems and groups, and the action is then performed on the selected systems and groups.

Click OK to get the values of the parameters of a single profile from the running configuration of systems and groups. If one of the selected groups contain systems that are not managed by AIX Profile Manager, the action skips those systems.
