Jan,
Please find my responses inline.

Since code for parsing SC manifest is no longer in use,
should we remove it - e.g. stuff in auto_parse.c file ?
I have one question, though. Due to the unsatisfied external dependences,
hostname and timezone SC parameters are still being configured by the installer
itself (in ICT phase), not by new SC framework.
Would that still work even if the installer does not obtain that information
from SC manifest ?
The timezone is needed before the transfer phase, so that timestamps on the
incipient BE match the requested timezone, ideally.
This means that we still need to parse profiles for the timezone regardless. My planned approach is to restore the old processing
code for hostname and timezone, but examining *all* profiles for the properties. When SMF fixed are implemented, the installer code
can be removed.

ict.py
------
- In original code,'svccfg apply -n' was called to validate generatedSC
profile.
That code was removed - is it intentional ?
The profiles are validated two times prior to that, but validation would be bypassed if a user inappropriately edited a profile
during AI, or an invalid profile were introduced through some other means. So, since validation is a low-cost operation, and the
user would want to be informed, perhaps it is better to restore it.
- It seems like code allows several SC profiles land in /etc/svc/profile/
directory.
How is it assured they all get applied by smf(5) ?
I am asking, since I thought that smf(5) only applies well-defined set of
profiles
from /etc/svc/profile/ directory.
Right now, the installers utilize 'site.xml' one - it is created as a symbolic
link
to /etc/svc/profile/sc_profile.xml populated by ICT.
Or is it just an interim solution until CR6961214 is addressed ?
No - it is assumed that this CR is addressed to correctly process multiple
profiles. I will take up this issue.
Thank you,
William
