The concept of WANboot is very useful in a large distributed environment like mine. Due to the way our organization is (nearly 9000 Solaris servers across every continent), in about 150 datacenters (which may have from 1 to several hundreds servers in each), managed by literally hundreds of different teams with varying skill levels, anything more complex than our jumpstart wrapper scripts and "boot net" isn't feasible. And, maintaining two different layouts for jumpstart builds versus WAN builds isn't really feasible either. It is unfortunate that WANboot does what it was designed to do, but that it wasn't designed to integrate well with other existing provisioning methods. -spp This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
