Solaris 10, SMF, Jumpstart & DiskSuite

I had my setup all done for Solaris 7,8,9 and DiskSuite install
using Jumpstart. My juststart server was installing four scripts:

  sdmsetup - I got from Sun
  S99disksuite-pass0 - Looks for a disk to use, formats and
                       runs sdmsetup. Rename pass0 to X99...
                       and renames pass1 to S99... and reboots.
  X99disksuite-pass1 - Runs /sdmsetup.ksh generated by sdmsetup
                       Renames pass1 to X99... and renames pass2 to
                       S99... and reboots.
  X99disksuite-pass2 - Runs /sdmsetup-after-reboot.ksh generated by
                       sdmsetup, cleans up, sets up the dump device
                       using dumpadm and exits.

I've used the sequence time and time again and works like a charme,
setting up disksuite with no human intervention what so ever.

My problem is now that Solaris 10 moved to SMF, I need to convert
that to METHODS and MANIFESTs and I need advice on how to do a clean
job of it. I've added custom services before but they where all
vanilla start a daemon a reboot type deals.

Now I need to activate and deactivate and deal with reboots and all
that.

I'll write something up and put out on the web somewhere once I'm
done maybe.

Thanks.
