Hi,
Can I get a code review for bug :
7048223 Multi-pool installed data pools need to be imported on first
boot

Some background :
With the integration of CUD based AI installations, Multi-Pool
support has been added. All pools other than the root pool (data pools)
created during an AI install do not get automatically imported when the
installed client boots. This is because they are not created within the
newly installed BE.
Not importing these pools on first boot could potentially have
catastrophic effects, in scenarios where dump/swap volumes were being
created on a data pool instead of the root pool, or where user account
home directories are being created on a non root pool, These datasets
would not be available on boot if the pools are not imported.
I've spent considerable time testing various scenarios to try and get
this to happen, and initiated a discussion on zfs-discuss to determine
the easiest means of achieving this.
Usage of zpool create/import with -R altroot and -o cachefile options
were mentioned as potential solutions, however these have proved
unsuccessful, due to hostid issues.
The proposed solution extends the System Config SMF used on first
boot, adding support to import data zpools specified via a profile which
is created during install and placed on the new BE.
cheers
Matt
