How do I set the disk selection without modifying the ai_manifest.xml file in the service area. I expect there is a way to set this for an individual client, but I can't see how to do it. The Flag Day docs have examples of how to convert existing clients, but no information that I can see on actually setting up a new one from scratch in 147.

I have setup a new client and successfully booted it with its own manifest, just not sure how/where to add the disk selection.

Does the sample /usr/share/auto_install/ai_manifest.xml help?


I also found (by accident) that I can just do a boot net:dhcp and the auto-installer is disabled, allowing me to login and examine the manifests before the installation starts. I expect this is documented somewhere but I hadn't seen a reference to it. This is very useful for troubleshooting.

It's actually in the AI Guide Troubleshooting and FAQ section. See #15 on this page:

http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/dev/AIinstall/faq.html#howstart


That document is actually a little bit out of date. You aren't required to do step 2 anymore if you don't want to since the manifest-locator service already puts one in place. You can edit it as you like before starting the auto-installer service though.
