Creating a profile

Profiles are introduced in Managing SP Profiles (Admin users only) on page 31.
Configuring command templates
When adding a new target device that needs a template, the administrator must perform
the following actions:
• Test whether the target device is compatible with the applicable default command template.
• If communications cannot be established with the new target device using a default command
template, use the sptemplate utility to create and test a new command template, after making
any needed changes to the commands that manage communications between the target device
and the MergePoint SP manager.
• If a new template cannot be made to work, create a custom Expect script to handle the target
device's requirements.
When one of the command templates is modified by an administrator, it applies to all target devices
that use the template. Create a new template using the Web interface when you do not wish to
overwrite one of the defaults.
To find out if an existing command template works with a new target device:
1. Assign the target device the appropriate profile and the associated default command template
for the profile.
2. Try to run power management commands on the target device.
3. If you can run power commands on the target device, test the rest of the management
commands that are supported on the device type. If they work, you are done.
