Like hosts and projects, profiles must be added at the domain level
before they can be used by individual projects. Likewise, they can be
administratively disabled from use at the domain level.
Add a profile to the Lab Management
In Lab Management, a "profile" is a reproducible collection of software packages that comprise a runnable operating system and accompanying set of applications. Every system inside the Lab Management environment has an operating system profile installed on it.
Modify the XML definition for a profile
Rather than using a Subversion client to check out and edit a profile, you can edit the profile XML definition in a text box in the Lab Management user interface. This allows you the greatest flexibility in changing parts of the profile.
Disable a profile
When you disable a profile in Lab Management, it will prevent users from building or rebuilding a host with that profile. It is possible to make disabled Lab Management profiles accessible again.
Enable a profile
To build a machine with a profile that has been disabled, you must re-enable the profile.
Delete a profile
If a profile in Lab Management has never been used, it can be deleted. This can be helpful, for example, if you wish to clean up some profiles that were created with incorrect names.
