As far as orchestrator is concerned, it will need to be accommodated for 
Sparc.
For now, I can think about following changes (there might be more):

[1] orchestrator calls TI for creating Solaris2 fdisk partition. This 
code will
need to be skipped for Sparc.

[2] After transfer phase is done, some of ICT tasks are invoked from 
orchestrator.
ict_installgrub() is x86 specific - for Sparc we will be probably 
calling installboot(1M)
to take care of making target disk bootable.

Thank you,
Jan
