delivered first version of System Configuration Interactive tool (aka

into build 162.
What's new ?
=== SCI tool can be used to generate sample System Configuration profile===
If run as a standalone application, SCI tool generates System
Configuration (SC)
profile reflecting information entered by user on configuration screens.
Created SC profile is in form which installadm(1m) tool accepts, thus
can be used
as a sample SC profile configuring system installed via Automated Installer.
SCI tool itself only generates SC profile, configuration is *NOT* applied
to running system.
* What can be configured:
- hostname
- network
- None
- Automatic (nwam)
- Manual
- IPv4 address/netmask for chosen network interface
- IPv4 default route
- DNS as a naming service (one search domain and one nameserver)
- user/root accounts
- time zone
* How to install:
# pkg install system/install/configuration
* How to invoke:
# /usr/bin/sysconfig
By default, generated SC profile is stored in /tmp/sc_manifest.xml file.
Though destination of created SC profile can be customized via
setting SC_FILE environment variable:
# SC_FILE=/system/volatile/sc.xml /usr/bin/sysconfig
* Known limitations:
- First version of SCI tool is not zone aware. If invoked within non-global
zone, SCI tool might display configuration screens which are not applicable
to zone's characteristics. For instance, SCI tool does not skip networking
configuration screens when invoked in non-global zone with shared-IP stack.
- First version of SCI tool lacks configuration screens for following
configuration areas:
- IPv6 networking configuration
- other than DNS naming services (LDAP, NIS)
- locale
- screen for User/Root account is not yet fully compliant with
PSARC/2010/165 opinion.
* Known issues:
7026330 sysconfig does not apply date and time configuration
7026383 snv_160 quit_01 SCI manual test:sysconfig shouldn't quit after
pressing "cancel"
7026963 Request to have the capability of specifying multiple DNS name
server and multiple search domains
7026989 SCI tool does not show hostname, ip address and netmasks with
manual option.
7026887 SCI Tool should be prepared to handle longer usernames
* Design specification:

* Where to report issues:
Please report any issues found in Bugster under category
solaris/install/configuration.
=== Text installer enhanced with support for manual network
configuration ===
Text installer was modified to utilize SCI tool for system
configuration. As a visible result
of that transition, text installer was enhanced with configuration
screens supporting manual
network configuration. Selecting 'Manually' on 'Network' screen provides
for configuration
of following parameters on installed system:
- IPv4 address/netmask for chosen network interface
- IPv4 default route
- DNS as a naming service (one search domain and one nameserver)
* Where to report issues:
Please report any issues found in Bugster under category
solaris/install/configuration.
