FMRI

(Fault Managed Resource Identifier) the following examples for the Solaris service syslogd are all equivalent:

  • svc://localhost/system/system-log:default
  • svc:/system/system-log:default
  • system/system-log:default

Likewise the SMF tools allow abbreviated forms of the FMRIs to be used. The abbreviation must be unique, must match the trailing part of the service name (although the “:default” can be left off), and it must begin after a “/”. So the following are acceptable abbreviations of the above FMRI:

  • system-log:default
  • system-log
Service States
  • uninitialized: This state is the initial state for all services before their configuration has been read or before their restarter has started.
  • disabled: The service instance is not enabled and is not running.
  • offline: The service instance is enabled, but cannot be started until its dependencies are met.
  • online: The service instance is enabled and has successfully started.
  • degraded: The service instance is enabled and running, but at less than full capacity.
  • maintenance: The service instance has encountered an error that must be resolved by the administrator.
  • legacy_run: This state is used only for legacy services. Legacy services cannot be controlled by SMF commands.
