Discussion and ARC cases for SMF functionality. Comments and feedback are welcome.
| RFE/Feature | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Early Manifest Import EMI Design Document | In Development | Allow for manifests to be imported early in the boot process before services are started or loaded from the repository. |
| SMF Notifications: PSARC 2009/617,PSARC 2009/618,PSARC 2009/619 | In Development | Allow configuration of email messages or SNMP traps when service state changes occur. |
| Allow Property Modification in SMF profiles, PSARC 2009/371 | Integrated in snv_119. | Allow properties to be modified in SMF profiles in addition to the existing ability to enable or disable instances. |
| method_context/credential simplification, PSARC 2009/093 | Integrated in snv_113. | Allow partial method context definitions in the repository, and enable typical service/instance inheritance of method context and credential properties. |
| Improved maintenance diagnosis: PSARC 2008/730 | Integrated in snv_109. | If maintenance is not requested by an administrator on a tty, have svcs -x display the fmri of the service which performed the svcadm mark maintenance. |
| Solaris host-based firewall (service-based firewall configuration): PSARC 2008/580 | Integrated in snv_109. | Express system and service firewall configuration as a set of SMF properties. These are automatically translated by ipfilter into appropriate ipfilter rules, and can be easily manipulated by administrators or higher level firewall configuration tools (like the Visual Panels service firewall tool). |
| Template Extensions: PSARC 2008/350 | Integrated in snv_102. | Extend SMF templates to provide a general mechanism for describing service configuration metadata. |
| SMF Property Value Ordering: PSARC 2008/432 | Integrated in snv_95. | Enhance SMF property storage to make value lists ordered by default and in all cases. |
| svcs -xq: PSARC 2008/159 | ARC case approved. | Permit svcs -x to give no output, but report in its exit code whether any services are in a problematic state. |
| Process Contract Decorations: PSARC 2008/046 | Integrated in snv_85. | Add service FMRI to process contracts to increase observability. |
| Manifest Import Performance Improvements (6351623) | Integrated in snv_84. | Improve manifest-import time by importing to a tmpfs-backed repository. Pave the way for Early Manifest Import by allowing imports before the root filesystem is mounted read-write. |
| svccfg refresh: PSARC 2008/015 | Integrated in snv_82. | Allow svccfg to update a running snapshot for a service instance on an alternate repository. |
| SMF Audit Integration: PSARC 2006/213 | Integrated in snv_81. | Create BSM audit records for important SMF administrative events. |
| SMF Sensitive Properties: PSARC 2007/177 | Integrated in snv_74. | Allow read-protection of sensitive application properties in the repository. |
