[removed items where I had no further comment]
If verify fails during manifest derivation during an install, then I
assume the installation would fail. What information is provided to
the user in that case and where? Will it be apparent from the
install_log as to what happened?
If you're talking about an "aimanifest verify" call from within the
script,
no, that wouldn't cause installation to fail. At the point when the
script
finishes execution (with success), the DMM is going to validate the
manifest
at that time, and if it fails to validate then, installation process
will stop.
So if someone was called in to look at a machine where the
installation has stopped in this manner, but didn't know that derived
manifests has been involved, what information would be available to
figure out what happened?
The console would show a generic AI failure as it does today, and
points to the /tmp/install_log file. (Work to enhance the error
reporting on the AI client's console to be more informative is
separate, but I would expect the enhancements we make there
would be applicable to failure messaging from the derived manifest
module.)
The overall /tmp/install_log will have messages put there from
the derived manifest module stating it failed during the derived
manifest phase. It will have messages pointing to the additional
log files produced from the execution of the derivation.
