Hi,

new AI image can be obtained from following location
(please be aware of the fact it is available only internally):

/net/10.18.138.30/rpool/ai_images/ai_image_100a_tip318.iso

Please see below for details.
Thank you,
Jan

The image is based on build 100a (10.18.138.30:100 IPS repository).
Following packages were replaced in/added to DC proto area:

SUNWbeadm
SUNWinstall
SUNWinstall-libs
SUNWdistro-const
SUNWauto-install

Packages are built from slim_source gate based on tip

$ hg tip
changeset:   318:db7bae69d9d5
tag:         tip
user:        sundar.yamunachari at sun.com
date:        Mon Oct 27 03:08:34 2008 -0600
summary:     4245 Cleanup AI default.xml

Image contains workaround for bug:
4255 svc:/system/coreadm:default goes to 'maintenance' in AI image 100a

Workaround: 'coreadm' SMF service is disabled in the image

There are couple of changes done in order to make testing of the image
more convenient:

[1] ssh is enabled, root is allowed to remotely log in:
$ ssh root@<ai_client_address>
passwd: opensolaris
#

[2] Debug verbosity is set to maximum - /tmp/install_log file contains
complete debug information


Test results:
* AI server was setup using SUNWinstalladm-tools built from tip311
* image booted fine
* AI net archives were downloaded and mounted
* AI service discovery finished successfully
* AI service choosing engine obtained AI combined manifest
* AI engine successfully installed from 100a IPS repository
 repository (512 MB swap was created)

The installation finished and I was able to login to the desktop
using user name and password specified in manifest (jack/jack).

Combined AI manifest used for installation is attached. Comparing
to the default one, which is present in slim_source gate starting
changeset 318, following sections were modified:

* address of IPS repository
* List of packages - since the IPS repo I used for the installation doesn't
  contain 'entire', I explicitly listed packages to be installed. Diffs
  are attached

Known issues this image suffers from:
-------------------------------------
* 4166 The automated installer hangs on a 1 GB system
* 4215 AI doesn't set 'root' role and 'Primary Administrator' profile to 
created user account
* 4240 Need AI image to work with 64 bit, otherwise cannot install > 1 
TB disk
* 4246 The user and root password are not encrypted in SC manifest
* 4248 ICT: reset_image_uuid unconditionally tries to reset the uuid
