You can specify configuration of any system characteristic that is configurable by using SMF properties. For example, the system configuration profile can configure a root account, an initial user, keyboard layout, terminal type, an IPv4 network interface (static or DHCP) and default route, an IPv6 network interface (static or addrconf) and default route, and name service (name server list, search list, domain). If you specify a service or property that does not apply, that specification is ignored. Do not specify any particular property more than one time.
If you are not sure which SMF properties you need to specify, you can use the describe subcommand of the svccfg command to display a description of the property groups and properties of a service, including possible settings. See “Property Inspection and Modification Subcommands” on the svccfg(1M) man page.
svccfg -s FMRI describe [-v] [-t] [propertygroup/property]
A property group or specific property can be queried by specifying either the property group name, or the property group name and property name separated by a slash (/), as an argument.
The –v option gives all information available, including descriptions for current settings, constraints, and other possible setting choices.
The –t option shows only the template data for the selection (see the smf_template(5) man page), and does not display the current settings for property groups and properties.
