Profile Creation, New in 6.1

In 6.0 - To create a profile one can call AppServerPath/bin/ProfileCreator/pctSolaris.bin command or wasprofile.sh command.

Ex.,
./wasprofile.sh -create -profileName bladetcb6profile -profilePath /usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/bladetcb6profile -templatePath /usr/WebSphere/AppServer -profileTemplates/default -nodeName bladetcb6node -cellName bladetcb6Cell -hostName bladetcb6.rtp.raleigh.ibm.com

Or you can kick this process thru firststeps.

In 6.1, wasprofile.sh command is available too but it is depricated. Instead you have manageprofil.sh command.
ex.,
manageprofiles.sh -create
-profileName shasti
-profilePath /shasti/WebSphere
-templatePath /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profileTemplates/dmgr
-cellName cell1
-hostName planetaix
-nodeName dmgr1
