hi folks quick question - i'm working on service conversions for the Solaris routing services (in.routed, in.ripngd), and on enhancing routeadm (1M), the routing management tool, to support listing, enabling/disabling, modifying properties of these services a la inetadm.
one problem with this is that these operations would fail during upgrade when SMF is unavailable. given that routeadm is often used in jumpstart scripts, the solution i'd like to adopt is for routeadm to assume upgrade on detecting SMF unavailability in conjunction with an alternate root having been set (routeadm supports setting an alternate root via chroot). if this is the case, the SMF commands are appended to <alternate_root>/var/svc/profile/upgrade. does this solution seem ok? (by the way, i assume a good test for SMF availability is calling scf_handle_create(), getting a failure with SCF_ERROR_NO_SERVER set as errorcode?) thanks for your help! alan This message posted from opensolaris.org
