Sorry but that comment alone is grounds for derailing the case. There
is an existing "profile" based architecture that already deals with
all of the things this case can do and much more.
All blackbirds are black. Not all black birds atre blackbirds.
Please put this case in waiting-need-spec and have the spec updated
with detailed information on why using an NWAM profile with a static
rather than DHCP based configuration won't work. When that
information is available the case can be re-railed if it is still even
necessary.
Yes, a case will be necessary, because as was explained in the first
sentence of this case, Install intends to use SMF profiles to configure
system resources. No SMF profile exists that will create an NWAM profile
any more than one exists to create an ipadm-based configuration.
But I agree that a PSARC case for Install might be a prerequisite to
this case.
There has been a very significant amount of engineering work put into
NWAM profiles and the case of static configuration was an important
part of it.
