How to Administer Install Services by Using the AI SMF Service

The automated installer includes the SMF service, svc:/system/install/server:default. This SMF service contains the data specific to each install service, such as the following:

  • Install service name

  • Image path

  • Boot file

  • Status of the install service

  • Webserver port

Using the AI SMF Service

You can perform the following tasks by using the automated installer's SMF service:

  • To see a list of the install services, run the following command:

    # svccfg -s svc:/system/install/server:default listpg
  • Each install service is represented by an SMF property group, AI<install service name>. To see the data for a specific install service, run the following command:

    # svccfg -s svc:/system/install/server:default listprop property_group_name
  • The AI SMF service is enabled whenever you run the installadm create-service command. Also, the AI SMF service is enabled anytime you run any of the other installadm command options that impact existing install services. Alternately, you can enable the SMF service by running the following command:

    # svcadm enable svc:/system/install/server:default

    The service goes into maintenance mode if there are no install services currently enabled on the install server.

  • You can disable the SMF service by running the following command:

    # svcadm disable svc:/system/install/server:default

For further information about administering install services, see Chapter 8, Troubleshooting and FAQs for the Automated Installer.
