Hello Caimaniacs,
we (me & Keith) would like to ask you for a feedback for the first version
of System Configuration Interactive tool.
Please see below for details.
Thank you very much,
Jan
Overview
--------
We decided to deliver SCI tool in steps. There are couple of reasons for
that
decision - we consider following to be the most important ones:
* There is a significant amount of external dependences. Instead of waiting
for all of them to be satisfied, we believe it makes sense to deliver
in steps taking into account time frame in which particular dependences
get satisfied.
* There are bunch of ongoing 'CUD efforts' which are assumed to share
following
pieces delivered by SCI tool project:
* DOC data structures holding system configuration information
* mechanism for generating SC profile
* changes in ICT world
* initial changes for text installer->CUD transition
We assume that making those common pieces available as soon as possible will
help related CUD project with making smoother progress.
That first phase intends to deliver SCI tool and modified text installer
with following characteristics:
[1] SCI tool
* system configuration information stored in DOC
* SCI tool compliant with CUD
* limited set of screens available - in particular those
which are currently available in text installer plus
support IPv4 manual network configuration & DNS
[2] text installer
* SCI tool embedded in text installer
* initial steps taken to transition text installer into CUD
* generated SC profile used for configuration of installed system
* ICT tasks removed/modified as a result of text installer configuring
most of the things in generated SC profile
Things which will be addressed in next steps (e.g. when related dependences
are met and screens are designed):
* configuration of naming services
* configuration of locales
* support for IPv6 network configuration
* zone awareness
Code review information

Unit tests are not part of this review - they currently being developed
by Keith and we assume to include them for 2nd (final) round of review.
design documents:
System Configuration Interactive Tool design spec:
http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/download/Project+caiman/System+Configuration+Project/sci%2Dtool%2Dlatest.pdf
System Configuration SMF Service design spec:
http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/download/Project+caiman/System+Configuration+Project/scsmfdesignlatest.pdf
Since couple of thousand of lines in slim_source were affected, we
divided changes
into several groups - please see below.
Please let us know off line if you plan to review any of those
changes, so that we can assure we have at least one reviewer for
each group of changes.
We are aware that most of the people will be unavailable at least for some
period during Christmas time, so we will be collecting the feedback for the
rest of this year until 12/31.
That said, if you would like to review those changes and need more time,
just let us know, we will account for that.
Testing done:
* text install media built with modified bits
* different install scenarios tested using built text install media
* SCI tool run as a standalone application
- different scenarios tested and generated System Configuration
profiles inspected
