Not able to create a link in /etc/rc3.d in Solaris 10

HI I am using solaris 10.We are doing some failover testing and checking whether services are starting up when we reboot the server.

As part of process i have moved scripts to /etc/init.d directory and trying to create a link /etc/rc3.d like this.

But strangely it is giving an error eventhough there is no file or directoy exists with the samename.

Code:

root@dcwipvmvom002:/etc/rc3.d # ls -rl
total 24
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          17 Mar 14 06:14 S98gmdid -> /etc/init.d/gmdid
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          15 Mar 14 06:13 S97vma -> /etc/init.d/vma
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          15 Mar 14 06:13 S86spa -> /etc/init.d/spa
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          18 Mar 14 06:13 S85orderg -> /etc/init.d/orderg
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          18 Mar 14 06:12 S84orderm -> /etc/init.d/orderm
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          17 Mar 14 06:12 S83specs -> /etc/init.d/specs
-rwxr--r--   6 root     sys         2452 Apr  3  2012 S50apache
-rwxr--r--   6 root     sys          474 Jan 21  2005 S16boot.server
root@dcwipvmvom002:/etc/rc3.d # pwd
/etc/rc3.d
 
 ln /etc/init.d/ingres* S82ingres
ln: S82ingres not found

Appreciate your quick help on this.

switch_root

SWITCH_ROOT(8)						       System Administration						    SWITCH_ROOT(8)

NAME

       switch_root - switch to another filesystem as the root of the mount tree

SYNOPSIS

       switch_root [-hV]

       switch_root newroot init [arg...]

DESCRIPTION

       switch_root moves already mounted /proc, /dev, /sys and /run to newroot and makes newroot the new root filesystem and starts init process.

       WARNING: switch_root removes recursively all files and directories on the current root filesystem.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Display help text and exit.

       -V, --version
	      Display version information and exit.

RETURN VALUE

       switch_root returns 0 on success and 1 on failure.

NOTES

       switch_root  will  fail	to  function if newroot is not the root of a mount. If you want to switch root into a directory that does not meet
       this requirement then you can first use a bind-mounting trick to turn any directory into a mount point:

	      mount --bind $DIR $DIR
