(The summary all looks reasonable.)
The image-create subcommand sets the UUID to None initially. There is
no option for setting a UUID with the image-create subcommand.
This setting is "opt-in" on the client side. I think there are a
couple of questions about package repository operators that prefer to
be opt-out (or required a UUID, I suppose), and on whether the
opt-in/opt-out initial setting should come from an external source.
My example is that CD images won't have a UUID but, on subsequent
boot, might need a --reset-uuid to generate a new one. Should this be
a transient service that, if some property is true, does the reset?
Yes. I would think the installer might setup a runonce in SMF to do this.
The uuid property, if set, would be included in the user-agent value of
all requests to the repository for that authority. The format would be
as follows:
User-Agent: pkg/VERSION, (osname machine; osrelease version; imagetype;
uuid)
So, if uuid is None, the field says "None", right? (As opposed to
having two formats to handle.)
Sure.
