So using root-on-ZFS we don't need to specify the size of the Pool that
the OS installation goes into?

Also what sort of authentication method do you expect in order to access
the OOB management?

Chris will you do the initial setup?

Just trying to get the details so I know what we need to ask OSUOSL to
do vs what we can do ourselves.
