Hi,
I greatly appreciate this design effort.
Reading section 5.3.3 raises a few questions about criteria...
First... How will the administrator specify the binding precedence for
the criteria?
Consider a scenario that exists in our data center today.
Most of the machines in IP range x.x.x.65-x.x.x.128 need to use
manifest A.
Machines outside this range may use the default manifest.
Specific machines in that range need to use manifest B.
These are all SPARC systems.
How does this get configured without explicitly setting a criteria for
each and every machine in the IP range?
My impulse would be to create a criteria that selects manifest A for
the IP range, then set specific criteria using MAC address for the few
select machines requiring manifest B. However, for this to function I
need to be able to specify the binding precedence.
Hi Jon,
For this particular example, why would you need to specially dictate
the order of precedence? The inherent order AI uses today should
work, no?
Second... How can I create multiple criteria sets for the same manifest.
For example, I'd like to specify IP range x.x.x.10-x.x.x.31 and range
x.x.x.200-x.x.x.254 all get manifest A while everything else gets the
default. The syntax described in 5.3.3 doesn't make it clear that this
would be possible.
Would making a copy of said manifest and adding it again with
the second criteria set be acceptable?
thanks,

I have posted a revision to the derived manifest design.
(I've removed the pieces about an interactive manifest CLI on
the server side, as that needs to be a separate design.)

Please review. Comments appreciated.
