OK. I have one more query here. I am working on a fix related to patching/packaging tools. When the system is in single user mode and if there are any local zones installed on filesystems other than root fs, the patch and packaging tools will fail to install on local zones. The reason is, non-root filesystems are not mounted since the service "svc:/system/filesystem/local:default" is "disabled" in single user mode. The solution, that I am proposing is to bring this service "online" temporarily and put it back to "diabled" state after the patch/pkg tools are completed.
Now, by default the service "svc:/system/filesystem/local:default" will be "disabled" in single-user mode. If the service is in any other state, then it must be due to some problem or the user could have done it on purpose. So, do I need to bring the service "online" only in case of "disabled" state or should I try to do this even in non-defaults states? Please suggest.
