Vadiraj. I'm not sure the svcadm command makes any sense outside the context of the currently running OS.
You could try copying an older copy of the repository back in (look in /etc/svc of your root disk) from failsafe mode. The working repository name is /etc/svc/respository.db You could also try to delete the service out of the repository and re-import it. You can do that by doing the following: - Boot failsafe mode - mount your root filesystem under /a - Set the following envs and export them: SVCCFG_DTD=/a/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1 SVCCFG_REPOSITORY=/a/etc/svc/repository.db export SVCCFG_DTD SVCCFG_REPOSITORY - svccfg delete svc:/system/console-login:default - svccfg import /a/var/svc/manifest/system/console-login.xml - umount /a Then try booting your root disk again. Since the default instance for console-login has enabled=true, it should activate it when you boot. hth, John Vadiraj wrote: > Hi All, > > I have disabled the system/console-login:default service by mistake.
