27.2 Setting Up SCPM

The following sections introduce SCPM configuration by means of a real life example:
a mobile computer that is run in several different networks. The major challenges faced
in this scenario are:
• Varying network environments, like wireless LAN at home and an ethernet at work
• Different printer configuration at home and at work
To get SCPM up and running and have it manage your changing system configuration,
proceed as follows:
1 Add the Profile Chooser applet to your panel and configure it to allow user
switching as described in
Applet" (page 526).
2 Configure SCPM using the YaST Profile Manager module as described in
tion 27.3.2, "Configuring Basic SCPM Settings"
3 Create a profile for each of the different setups using SUMF (SCPM Unified
Management Front-End) as described in
(page 528).
4 Switch to the profile appropriate for your current situation as described in
tion 27.3.4, "Switching Profiles"
