Flag Day : These fixes will integrate in the next few days once the final RTI is approved.
With the integration of the following bug fixes : 6411391 Empty method_context's don't work 5093847 importing a manifest should create method_context properties even if not set 6517270 partial method context definitions should work <method_context> entries will become more friendly and allow for correct inheritance of values due to changes in the DTD. These changes require that the SMF repository db be restructured in a way that old restarter and svccfg implementations will not understand. Tools or procedures that mix the old smf with the new repository database will cause problems, by potentially intermixing the repository and smf utilities. --- Backwards BFU across build snv_109 will require a reseed of the repository with the old svccfg to reload the repository in a readable format by the old restarter. The following step should be executed after the BFU has completed, and before a reboot. This step will reboot the system so make sure all conflict resolution is complete : /lib/svc/bin/restore_repository Note : any modifications to the repository will be lost with this process. In order to save any modifications, the following step can be applied to those modified services. svccfg export <service name> > <filename> Once the bfu and reseed/reboot have completed, use svccfg import to apply the exported manifest files. Forward BFU has been modified to use the correct DTD with the correct svccfg. -- Sean Wilcox 303.272.9711 x79711
