syslog not coming up
Hi All,

I have a whole root zone, tsesbd02-zesbx01. On this zone, syslog service is not coming up. While it is working good on Global zone. Below are commands from tsesbd02-zesbx01
HTML Code:
root@tsesbd02-zesbx01:/# svcs -a svc:/system/system-log:default
svcs: -a ignored when used with arguments.
STATE          STIME    FMRI
maintenance    12:35:29 svc:/system/system-log:default
root@tsesbd02-zesbx01:/# svcs -xv svc:/system/system-log:default
svc:/system/system-log:default (system log)
 State: maintenance since Wed Mar 14 12:35:29 2012
Reason: Start method exited with $SMF_EXIT_ERR_CONFIG.
   See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-KS
   See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M syslogd
   See: /var/svc/log/system-system-log:default.log
Impact: This service is not running.

Can you post contents of /etc/syslog.conf?

I found similar issue here. Try killing svc.configd and then clearing syslog service.

Bartus, I already tried that and that didn't helped. It seems like his root cause was different
PHP Code:
root@tsesbd02-zesbx01:/# ps -ef | grep -i svc.configd
    root 27101 21113   0 14:34:43 pts/2       0:00 grep -i svc.configd
    root  6614 18078   0 12:26:50 ?           0:15 /lib/svc/bin/svc.configd
root@tsesbd02-zesbx01:/# kill -9 6614
root@tsesbd02-zesbx01:/# ps -ef | grep -i svc.configd
    root 27103 18078   0 14:34:50 ?           0:01 /lib/svc/bin/svc.configd
    root 27106 21113   0 14:34:53 pts/2       0:00 grep -i svc.configd
root@tsesbd02-zesbx01:/# svcadm clear svc:/system/system-log:default
root@tsesbd02-zesbx01:/# svcs -a | grep -i /system/system-log
maintenance    14:35:17 svc:/system/system-log:default

Have you tried stopping the zone and booting it again?

Not yet. Few applications are running on zone, so I was trying to start syslog service without restarting zone. Does that log says something
PHP Code:
/var/svc/log/system-system-log:default.log 
?
