This directory contains a selection of support files that are used during the Solaris build process for both Sparc and Intel hosts.

During a traditional Solaris build, the host's configuration is arrived at by matching of the host's architecture and other parameters against a file based rules database. The process implemented in this directory is that a generic host is declared and this host then requests a more detailed profile and finish script from Foreman via a web based query.

Note that this directory structure is mounted on the host during the build process. It is then accessed in the miniroot, where not all Solaris utilities are available.

The files marked with a + may need to be configured for your installation. These contain embedded url's referring to your foreman host and port. These may need to be changed.
