What is the purpose of the Service Management Facility (SMF) profiles?
A.
an XML file that describes current services and the instances
B.
allows the customization of services and instances
C.
stores configuration information about each service instance
D.
used to start and stop processes or services
Explanation:
Profiles are, in many ways, similar to manifests in that they use the same XML DTD. However, instead of
providing information about a service, its dependencies, and methods, a profile is used to provide customization
of a service or an instance of a service. Customizations include whether an instance of a service should be
enabled or disabled and any modifications to service configuration properties.
Incorrect:
Not A: Manifests (not profiles) are used to describe services and instances of a service, including any property
groups and properties they might have.
