Hi Jan, I was just reading the bug now :)
Then if I understood it right, we can start a new service with an existent source image. I tested this and it worked but then I came across with another possible issue. # installadm create-service -n x86_install_101a -s /images/AI/osol-0811-rc2-ai.iso /export/ai/images/osol-0811-rc2-ai/ Now I'll create a new service over an existing source image: # installadm create-service -n jare /export/ai/images/osol-0811-rc2-ai/ Registering the service jare._OSInstall._tcp.local # installadm list The install services running on the system are: x86_install_106 x86_install_101a x86_install_106 x86_install_101a x86_install_106 x86_install_101a jare jare jare But then delete-service will try and remove it's source image even though there're more active services using it: #installadm delete-service -x jare Stopping the service jare._OSInstall._tcp.local /usr/lib/installadm/setup-service[236]: [: 129.156.229.201: unknown operator rm: cannot remove directory `/export/ai/images/osol-0811-rc2-ai/': Invalid argument # ls /export/ai/images/osol-0811-rc2-ai/ (empty) Should installadm delete-service remove the source image if there's other services actives 'linked' to that source image? I was going to open a bug but preferred to comment it here first in case I didn't get this right (i.e. if after the service is created it's not linked to the source image anymore) Thanks, David jan damborsky wrote: > Hi David, > > > David Garcia - ONPIT wrote: >> Hi Jan, >> >> Please see comments inline: >> >> jan damborsky wrote: >>> >>> yes, '-s' is mandatory - it is mentioned later in man page, >>> but it seems to be marked incorrectly in 'usage' section. >>> >>> There is a bug filed for tracking these issues: >>> >>> 5553 required parameters are marked as optional in installadm(1M) >>> man page >>> >>> It seems that the one you noticed is not mentioned in bug report - >>> could you please capture it there ? >>> >> I added a comment in #5553 > > I talked to Sue and she pointed out that '-s' is optional, not mandatory, > as source image is not required. > > I have added appropriate comment to bug 5553 to address this and captured > there man page sections which should be clarified with respect to this > point. > > My apologies for the confusion, > Jan >
