[xcat-user] profiles with Confluent

[David M. <dma...@ee...>]

Hello,

The Confluent documentation for OS deployment:

       https://hpc.lenovo.com/users/documentation/confluentosdeploy.html

lists only five commands that need to be run to create a new profile:

# cd /var/lib/confluent/public/os/
# cp -a rhel-8.2-x86_64-default rhel-8.2-x86_64-custom
# cd /var/lib/confluent/private/os/
# cp -a rhel-8.2-x86_64-default rhel-8.2-x86_64-custom
# osdeploy updateboot rhel-8.2-x86_64-custom

However I found I had to edit a number of files to take the initial ubuntu-22.04.3-x86_64-default/ profile and create my own ubuntu-22.04.3-x86_64-test1/, per the following diffs:

IIRC, I run the "osdeploy updateboot …" command (with my profile name). Did I miss something? Should the above files been automatically changed in some fashion?

Thanks for any info.

(This is Confluent 3.8.0.)
