hi, i'm trying to get the big picture re: the lifecycle of a Svc's manifest (xml file).
i apply a patch that adds a new manifest (.xml) and binary to a sys for the iscsitgt Service. i enter commands that add to the SCF-based state of the Svc. eg, svccfg commands and the /lib/svc/bin/sqlite cmd can be used to show that associated state expectedly changes at both these levels. if i uninstall the patch (patchrm), what i see is that the SQL-level data in the database and the svccfg-level data still contains the stuff that i had added when the patched binary was running. doesn't smf "magically" restore a snapshot of the previous manifest (.xml) ...or something such that i can return to my previous version of persistent state? ...or does the binary have to make scf_delete_pg() calls in order to delete a PropertyGroup ? if so, what can my code hook into so that I could make such calls? thanks /andrew
