How to Revert to Another SMF Snapshot

If the service configuration is wrong, the problem can be fixed by reverting to the last snapshot that started successfully. In this procedure, a previous snapshot of the console-login service is used.

1. Become superuser or assume a role that includes the Service Management rights profile.

   Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

2. Run the svccfg command.

   # svccfg svc:>

   1. Select the service instance that you want to fix.

      ---

      Note –

      You must use an FMRI that fully defines the instance. No shortcuts are allowed.

      ---

      svc:> select system/console-login:default svc:/system/console-login:default>

   2. Generate a list of available snapshots.

      svc:/system/console-login:default> listsnap initial running start svc:/system/console-login:default>

   3. Select to revert to the start snapshot.

      The start snapshot is the last snapshot in which the service successfully started.

      svc:/system/console-login:default> revert start svc:/system/console-login:default>

   4. Quit svccfg.

      svc:/system/console-login:default> quit #

3. Update the information in the service configuration repository.

   This step updates the repository with the configuration information from the start snapshot.

   # svcadm refresh system/console-login

4. Restart the service instance.

   # svcadm restart system/console-login
