Conclusion: Until then, look for disk with 12 GB. If not available, look for disk with 4 GB. This should satisfy xvm team, when installing virtual machines. - How do we know that 4 GB is enough for vm install? Jeffrey mentioned that it failed to complete the install with 4 GB.Take a look at the bug 8525. - What about default disk for SPARC? Is it same as X86? What about determinism of disk selection? - Deterministic disk device id is always present. we get it from libdiskmgmt, which is what is used by target discovery - we could do ordering based on order of device ids - device ids are changed, although very rarely - What about using MPXIO for disk name? Currently, we expect x86 disk to have solaris2 partition or we fail. Is this reasonable? What is the disk we want is unformatted. We should create it in that case. - How do differentiate whether the disk is unformatted or the format we don't understand. We have to be careful to delete something we don't know. x86, only one disk and no solaris2 partition? Currently, we don't install it. Consensus is that we should install it. - If you have space to create a Solaris partition, then it may be ok. If you don't have space, which partition will you delete to create Solaris partition? Do we need default disk scenario? Is it too risky? Should we always make user specify disk? When is default used? Evaluation purposes? - I think we need default disk since first time users may not know how to specify the disk in the manifest. If the system already has a Solaris version installed, it will be useful. - Sundar > > In tomorrow's meeting, we want to finalize a proposed design for > default disk selection, discuss > specified disk selection, and get an intro from Jean on progress > reporting. > > Thanks, > Sue > > > On 05/18/09 09:02, Susan Sohn wrote: >> There will be meetings on Tue, Wed, and Thu this week to discuss >> client redesign. >> The topic for tomorrow's meeting will be disk selection (default and >> specified) and >> slice partitioning.
