That means, if the state is "Maintenance", then we must call smf_restore_instance() followed by smf_enable_instance(). And if the state is "Degraded", then if we call smf_restore_instance(), that itself will bring the service to "Enabled". Is my understanding correct? Thanks, Narendra smf_disable_instance() will IMO have the expected effect (i.e. bringing > the instance to disabled state) regardless of the previous state. > > Tomas > -- Warm Regards, Narendra Visit my blogs at: http://ssnarendrakumar.blogspot.com/ ___ ___ __ _ / __/ / __/ / | / / _\ \ _ \ \ / /| |/ / \___/ \___/ /_/ |__/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
