Jarod Nash : A Practical Session on AI Derived Manifests
========================================================
Building on earlier presentations on the new Solaris 11 Image Packaging 
System (IPS) and Auto Installer (AI), this talk will provide a practical 
guide to writing and using derived manifests.
At install time, AI uses manifest files to configure the installation. 
These manifests can be default (used with any client), custom (used by 
specific clients), or derived (created at install time based on a script 
querying the client being installed). As an example, a derived manifest 
script could select a custom disk layout based on the number/size of 
disks available at install time, and are therefore an powerful facility 
for AI administrators.

Jarod Nash joined Sun Microsystems in 1995, and worked for over 10 years 
in the Services organisation doing both general front line, and specific 
kernel backline work, before moving to Revenue Product Engineering (RPE) 
to support the ZFS Storage Appliance range.  The support role comes with 
a variety of challenges and exposure to disparate technologies, and 
while having a general interest in almost all things "Solaris", Jarod 
has a particular fondness for ZFS.
He has previously presented at UK Solaris SIG events with ZFS: Under the 
Hood, SMF Overview, Solaris CIFS Service and has been involved other UK 
Solaris SIG activities.
