Hi Srinivas,
you might want to use "svcadm enable -s ...". Quoting from svcadm(1M)
manual page:
If the -s option is specified, svcadm enables each ser-
vice instance and then waits for each service instance
to enter the online or degraded state. svcadm will
return early if it determines that the service cannot
reach these states without administrator intervention.
and from the "EXIT STATUS" section:
The following exit values are returned:
<snip>
3 svcadm determined that a service instance that it
was waiting for could not reach the desired state
without administrator intervention due to a problem
with the service instance itself.
4 svcadm determined that a service instance that it
was waiting for could not reach the desired state
without administrator intervention due to a problem
with the service's dependencies.
Hope that helps,
Tomas
