The culprit that kept re-enabling svc:/network/rpc/meta was /var/svc/ profile/upgrade (as setup by the flash install post deployment processing).
An error in the upgrade script (added by JASS, bug fixed in patch 122608-02) caused the upgrade script to fail and the subshell executing /var/svc/profile/upgrade in /lib/svc/method/manifest-import to terminate before the upgrade script was renamed. It was re- running and failing on every reboot. Shouldn't the upgrade script be renamed even if it failed executing? Would it not be wise at this point to set the state of svc:/system/ manifest-import to something other than "online"? Surely the user should get an indication that something went wrong during the manifest import? It would certainly have helped me to track this problem down a lot faster! ta - mo -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
