Creating a Custom SC Manifest

The system configuration manifest (SC manifest) specifies client system configuration as a set of configuration parameters in the form of an SMF (Service Management Facility) profile. The SC manifest sets SMF properties for appropriate SMF services.

An SMF profile carrying the system configuration is applied during the first boot of the system after installation. SMF services responsible for particular configuration areas process SMF properties and configure the system accordingly.

• You can embed an SC manifest in your AI manifest. See Default AI Manifest for an example of an SC manifest embedded in an AI manifest.

  <auto_install>
    <ai_instance name="default">
        AI_manifest_content
      <sc_embedded_manifest name="AI">
        <!-- <?xml version='1.0'?>
          SC_manifest_content
        -->
      </sc_embedded_manifest>
    </ai_instance>
  </auto_install>

• You can reference a separate SC manifest file within the AI manifest file.

  <auto_install>
    <ai_instance name="default">
        AI_manifest_content
      <sc_manifest_file name="AI" URI="./sc_manifest1.xml"/>
    </ai_instance>
  </auto_install>
