Jack, 2.2
If the SC manifest is an enhanced smf profile then I don't see a need for the install tools (our parser) to understand how to parse and validate them. We've requested from the smf team the ability to use svccfg(1M) to validate a profile, which will do basic syntactical validation. We don't own the form of this file, so beyond that I don't see much more we could or should do. 5.3 > If the Sysmap Manifest contains no criteria, it will serve as a > default, and will ?match? all systems for which no Sysmap > Manifest with explicit matching criteria exist. What if there are two Sysmap Manifests added which have no criteria, which one acts is the default manifest for this install service? Have you looked at section 1.4 of http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/caiman/auto_install/Design_doc_delta_for_AI_Spring_2009.pdf This documents the design decisions we made regarding AI manifest usability in the spring. Not everything in that document applies to this project, and some things might have changed or don't apply anymore because of all this redesign going on. But leverage whatever you can from it. All of that stuff was discussed and agreed upon in the open, with Frank's input. 6.1 > XXX I assume here that derived profiles can be used for SC > manifest (as well as AI manifest) The SC manifest has not been in the scope of the Derived Manifests work.
