It's ickier. We don't want to commit the repository format, so if you're upgrading, we can't guarantee that the current svccfg & svc.configd will work with the target repository.db. It's necessary in the cases where we need to make changes to the repository before /var/svc/profile/upgrade is executed, though. > And what is the process for obtaining a contract to use the > file /var/svc/profile/upgrade ? If you have an ARC case, you can include a filled-out and agreed upon contract in it. Otherwise, you have to file a new ARC case for it. David
