AI needs support auto-configuration of name services for clients. This should be configurable at the "create-service" level or at the "create-client" level for installadm. It should support LDAP/AD, Keberos, and DNS. The name services configuration should be part of the created services manifest or the client manifest. The AI client upon first boot-up, should import this data and configure the name services correctly. This would basically replace the sysidcfg process used in Jumpstart in the area of name services.
As far as post installation configuration of client to be installed is concerned, the vision is to customize things via SMF properties provided in AI manifest. AI itself is supposed to be as much agnostic as possible about what those properties represent - it would just provide transfer mechanism to pass those SMF properties to appropriate consumer. Teams in charge of particular technologies are assumed to provide necessary APIs (e.g. definition of SMF properties). For instance, there is bug 10307 filed to track the request for being able to configure installed system with static network configuration (as oppose to DHCP one). Transferring to the same network category as bug 10307.
Marking this as an enhancement, in accordance with the synopsis.
