inittab in Solaris 10

kalpeer · #1 (**permalink**) 03-02-2009

Hi,

In Solaris 9 and below release we are using the rc script in inittab.I don’t have much idea abt inittab in Solaris.

In Solris 9 and below:
We use rc3 script to start up the server. And we run database script before the rc3.

os:23:respawn:/etc/init.d/database start >/dev/null 2>&1
s3:3:wait:/sbin/rc3 >/dev/msglog 2<>/dev/msglog </dev/console

Now I install my product in Solaris 10 and the
Initab entry looks like

ap::sysinit:/sbin/autopush -f /etc/iu.ap
sp::sysinit:/sbin/soconfig -f /etc/sock2path
smf::sysinit:/lib/svc/bin/svc.startd >/dev/msglog 2<>/dev/msglog </dev/console
p3:s1234:powerfail:/usr/sbin/shutdown -y -i5 -g0 >/dev/msglog 2<>/dev/msglog
pt:s1234:powerfail:/usr/lib/svc/method/installupdates lock

When I check svcs –a

The database has not been started before the server boot.
So the server reboot has been failed

Now I need to know how I can start the database, when I reboot the server.

Please help me where I need to add that path. How can I add the path to SVCS(SMF). L

Regards,
Kalai
