Can I have one repo with multiple publishers each in its own separate zfs filesystem? The reason I'm asking is, that I will need network AI installs from internal repository (no access to internet) + I need to make sure that each client gets exactly the same bits installed (now or in the future). So I want to make the repo/publisher read-only + zfs snapshot. Probably it will be easiest if each S11 release would be a separate publisher internally then. This way I can make sure that a given release of BASE os is exactly the same. Then in additional repo/publisher I want to put all the extra internal packages, finish scripts, etc. Or would you recommend a different set-up?, assuming no internet access during install and making sure that a client can be install to any available S11 release in the future with a gurantee it iss exactly the same build. > The Derived Manifests work will provide the common uses of > begin scripts, but that's not released.
