           Summary: Support setting up static IP for automatic installer
    Classification: Development
           Product: nwam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: ANY/Generic
        OS/Version: OpenSolaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: ON misc
        AssignedTo: nwam-dev at opensolaris.org
        ReportedBy: sundar.yamunachari at sun.com

The bug is filed as a follow up of the meeting between install group and
networking group. The automated installer currently supports only setting up
DHCP and it is a big problem for server installation. After automated
installation is completed, the user manually sets up static IP for the server.
This issue is a major blocker in moving from SXCE (Nevada) to OpenSolaris.
Further, the enterprise customers need the support of setting static IP from
the automated installer to move from Solaris to OpenSolaris.

The installation team is not interested in creating special code during the
installation to setup static address. It is desirable to have an interface such
as SMF to specify the network parameters so that the install code doesn't need
to know the inner details of networking.
