Hi All, It was suggested that I use this alias to try and hammer out a name for a new package I'm planning on delivering as part of the x86 cpu/memory hotplug project. I have a webrev of the packaging portions of things available at:
http://cr.opensolaris.org/~mec/ips_local.2/ This new package will contain all of the bits needed to enable the addition of cpus or memory to a running x86 system. This includes the acpihpd daemon, managed by the svc:/platform/i86pc/acpihpd:default SMF service, who's manifest is also included in the package, as well as the various dr based drivers which are needed to support this feature. The current name I have for the package is: system/dynamic-reconfiguration/i86pc Other suggestions have been: system/dynamic-reconfiguration/generic system/dynamic-reconfiguration/apci-hotplug system/dynamic-reconfiguration/x86 system/dynamic-reconfiguration Some additional background which makes all of this a bit more confusing :) There already exist sparc packages for similar DR based features: system/kernel/dynamic-reconfiguration/sun-fire-15000 system/kernel/dynamic-reconfiguration/sun-fire-880 system/kernel/dynamic-reconfiguration/ultra-enterprise-10000 With IPS, it seems like there should be no need for all of these packages and a single system/kernel/dynamic-reconfiguration package might make sense. I know IPS is smart enough to handle x86 and sparc bits in the same package, but I don't know if it's smart enough to distinguish between different sparc platforms. I would prefer not to do this consolidation myself, if it is a good idea, and instead file an RFE for it so that my project is not impacted by the extra testing this would require in which case we'd go with the system/dynamic-reconfiguration name. So, please let me know your opinions on this.
