I've updated the requirements with all of the comments received previously. I would like to get any comments on this second pass by 4/02/2010.Thanks, -evan

Doing this on first boot might open the possibility of requiring an additional reboot, since packages may alter configuration files such as /etc/system or /kernel/drv/*.conf.* Installation of third party software or customer packages - We need to be able to support the customer adding their own packages during the install. This also ties into the single reboot requirement and will probably be desirable for the replication work as well. * A couple of unknowns here: - We can required users to either provide their own IPS packages and repos for these types of packages then include any configuration needed for these in these packages. This is the direction we would want to move people that are now just doing tar-balls in finish scripts. - How do we handle SVR4 packages that can't be migrated to IPS? - The thought here is that we provide the ability to specifySVR4 packages and a location to pull them from in the manifest.However until this is available in AI it may be necessary to do this type of installation on first boot.
(Or do I not understand something correctly again?)
* Zone configuration.
- meta data about the zones to be created that is then passed to
the zones tools where the zone is actually created.
- Provide a pointer to the archive or list of packages that will
be used to install the zone. This is also passed to the zones
tools (zoneadm etc).
* Server configuration
- Jumpstart servers to AI and IPS server migration.
- AI consolidates the boot server and install server into one server.
- Additionally there is the need to configure the IPS server
- When create client is needed and when it isn't. With Jumpstart
"add_install_client" is always needed. This is not the case for AI.
Note: S10 jumpstart server and OpenSolaris AI server coexistence is
outside the scope of this project as this only covers migration from
Jumpstart to AI not the use of both.
