Hi Jan,
Here are my comments on the document. Sorry I didn't have time
to read through comments others made. If I mention something
that's already been discussed, please just point me to the answer.
General questions or comments:
--------------------------------
- Can the SCI tool be used to re-configure an already configured
system/zone?
After reading the whole document, I think it can not. If that's the case,
it would be good to mention that in the document. Also, what tool should
people use to re-configure their system?
- From reading the use cases in section 12, I finally understand that the
SCI tool is used for generating a SMF properties profile that will be
consumed
the next time the system boots up. It would be nice to talk
about *how* SCI tool configures the system in some sort of
an overview section.
Section 6.2:
------------
- "global zone" is a supported working environment. Under what
circumstances
will the SCI tool be used in a global zone?
Section 12.2:
--------------
- I am confused by the first bullet.
"SCI tool invoked by start method of svc:/system/install/config:default
smf service".
I thought the SCI tool is invoked as a standalone application.
To me, that means that is something a user/role would
execute a command to run. What does that have to do with a SMF service?
Section 14.2.1:
----------------
- I am a little concern about implementing the SC module as a checkpoint to
be executed by the engine. I know that the engine can run
non-interactive checkpoints. I am sure how well it will handle checkpoints
that require user interaction. Have you try it to see whether it works?
section 15:
-----------
- Is the svc:/system/install/config:default SMF service going to be a
deliverable?
- 2nd bullet: If the SC Module will really be a checkpoint, I believe it
should
be delivered into /usr/lib/python2.6/vendor-packages/solaris_install/scm.py
like all other checkpoints in CUD.
Thanks,
--Karen

Hello Caimaniacs,
first draft of System Configuration Interactive tool design spec
has been published for review:
http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/download/Project+caiman/System+Configuration+Project/sci%2Dtool%2Dlatest.pdf
During this round, we would like to verify that the proposed
design fits the overall Caiman architecture and that we are
not missing any important requirements or features.
Thus the current version of document lacks details.
We will be elaborating more on them later after we verify
the overall vision.
Susan, if you happen to have cycles to take a quick look
and verify that we are on the right track from
zones point of view, it would be greatly appreciated.
Please provide your comments/feedback before COB Wednesday 9/22.
Thank you very much,
Jan
