Hi Sarah,

A few things that still need to be changed -

a) GRUB menu customization section from dc_spec.
   I do realize that GRUB2 is going to change
   some things in this area but still we need a
   way to specify custom grub menu entries.

b) iso sort file specification from the dc_spec

c) dc_instance should have an additional attribute
   along the lines of "incremental_media(true|false)"
   to support fixing defect 6794

d) Are primary_source/secondary_source in the dc_spec
   the equivalent of the current post_install_repo_default_authority
   and addl_authority?

   If so, I think it would be better to abstract
   these out as a software_spec section. The reason
   for this is - DC is going to leverage the transfer
   module to set the ips attributes. So, even if it
   is specified in the dc_spec section, DC internally
   will have to instantiate the appropriate Transfer
   class, retrieve the ips attributes from the dc_spec
   section and set them in the Transfer object.

   Seems like it woul be just be simpler to abstract them
   out as a software_spec action.

e) Where do IPS attributes such as, say, generate_ips_search_index,
   get specified in the DC manifest?

f) I don't believe the VM creation needs stuff like compression,
   boot_archive and max_size attributes in the vm_img section.
   The entire vmc manifest is a fairly stripped down version of
   the current DC manifest - just has a target section and a
   finalizer/execution section.

Thanks,
Alok

Hi All,

I updated the AI/DC schemas and the design document to reflect the comments received in the initial design review. If you want to see the specific changes, please use the .odt file and set the show changes and you will see the edits.

The areas I modified were:

-Target dtd. This is based on feedback plus discussions about the use cases for AI. You will see a high level disk object now, that encapsulates the partitions, slices or other parts. The new AI schema supports mutliple disks and pools. And, the associated components.

-Execution dtd. We are no longer embedded software in the checkpoint elements. The software spec now has a name which much match the checkpoint name to differentiate different software data for multiple transfer checkpoints.

-Software spec dtd. This now has elements and attributes for facets, and better publisher/origin definition.

-I removed the extraneous definitions that were in text for each of the schemas. The schemas themselves should be sufficient.

-I added the dtd's as well as example instance documents to the gate for reference.

Please review and send comments. I would like to close this out by COB 7/9/10.

Thank you,
sarah
