Sue is fixing bugs 6128 (installadm reuses /var/ai data and screw up 
manifest -- This is data corruption and should be fixed) and 6738 
(SUNWinstalladm-tools in b108 clobber existing AI data without rebooting 
-- Similar to above problem). The fix involves creating one text file 
for each service (instead of one common file service_data for all 
services) and adding a status field to indicate whether the service is 
currently running or stopped. So this functionality will be available. I 
can help you to figure out how to find that information.

Thanks,
Sundar
