Hi everyone.
My push of the Derived Manifests project to slim_source (changeset 1087)
adds new AI manifest management to the installadm command. Now
implemented are:
Default manifests are now managed by an SMF property.
There is support for Derived Manifests (DM) scripts. Python or ksh93 DM
scripts can be registered with a service just as an XML manifest can.
(Note, however, that until AI-CUD integrates there is not client support
for this feature. More will be said about this in a future heads-up.)
Any manifest or DM script can be set up as the service's default now. If
a manifest or script with criteria associated with it is designated the
default, those criteria are ignored. If a manifest or script without
criteria is un-designated as the default, it becomes inactive.
New installadm commands
=======================
Here are new installadm commands added as part of this manifest
handling. Please see type installadm with no arguments to see the
complete usage of all installadm commands.
installadm add-manifest -d
--------------------------
Allows one to add a new manifest or script as the default.
installadm set-service
-o default-manifest=<new-default-manifest>
--------------------------------------------
Specify a service's pre-existing manifest or script to be the new default.
installadm update-manifest
--------------------------
Install a new version of a manifest or script (as from an external file)
while leaving intact all criteria associated with that manifest or script.
installadm export -m
--------------------
Export to the screen or a file, one or more manifests and/or scripts.
installadm list -m
------------------
Enhanced listing of manifests and scripts show which are default and
have ignored criteria, and which are inactive.
Bugs
====
Handling of existing default.xml manifests from old services is a known
issue (7038729) and will be fixed before build 165 closes.
Please file bugs against solaris/install/installadm in bugster and
direct any questions or comments to me.
Enjoy,
Jack
