Sue, Comments on the AI services functional spec ...
1.4.2.1 Don't know if it really applies here, but it would seem like making an OpenSolaris system run as an S10 Jumpstart server is a preferred scenario for 'coexistence of install servers' over an S10 system running an AI server. AI wouldn't have to be limited by S10 in that case. 2.7 Do we not plan to continue to store AI service configuration in SMF? 5.4.3 says that SMF could be used on Solaris. 3.3 Can you explain the difference between preconfigured and user created AI images? 5.1.1 Does a service always have a default manifest? I thought based on recent conversation we decided that a service does not always have to have a default? 5.6.2 eludes to this. 5.1.2 Pros - second bullet - nit - can you change the structure of the sentence to have the "if support for running ..." part come first? 5.2 - third bullet - Does this sentence need updating now that the subnet scope has been introduced? 5.3.2 and 5.3.3 The required hand of the DHCP server to define subnet and global scope worries me. The last implementation requirement stated in 5.1.1 says that we should be minimizing interactions and dependencies between AI and DHCP, yet this part of the spec seems to go against that. Is it possible for us to somehow define install service scopes as a non-required or tertiary *attribute* of an install service, rather than baking in scope as in inherent characteristic? My concern is the lack of control we have over DHCP config in the architecture, so depending on it to define characteristics of our services seems unreliable. 5.4.3 - 7th bullet - would it be better to say that the install service consumes the AI image, rather than the webserver? 5.4.5 - Question - Since wanboot scope definitions are on the AI server, does this mean that for architectures that use wanboot (i.e. Sparc), you can't have the subnet scope configuration on one AI server and the global scope configuration on a different AI server? thanks, -ethan Susan Sohn wrote: > The functional specification for AI Services is posted at: > > http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/caiman/auto_install/ai_svc_func_spec_v1.pdf > > > > Please review and send feedback to the alias. > > Thank you, > Sue > _______________________________________________ > caiman-discuss mailing list > caiman-discuss at opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/caiman-discuss
