The gPnPprofile is a small XML file located in GRID_HOME/gpnp/ /profiles/peer under the name profile.xml. It is used to establish the correct global personality of a node. Each node maintains a local copy of the gPnPProfile and is maintanied by the gPnPDeamon (GPnPD) . WHAT DOES gPnPPROFILE CONTAIN? gPnPProfile  is used to store necessary information required for the startup of Oracle Clusterware like  SPFILE location,ASM DiskString  etc. It contains various attributes defining node personality. ==> Cluster name ==> Network classifications (Public/Private) ==> Storage to be used for CSS ==> Storage to be used for ASM : SPFILE location,ASM DiskString  etc ==> Digital signature information : The profile is security sensitive.
