To Start the Database Server Instance

1. Check the status of the SMF service.

   The mysql;version_50 service is disabled by default.

   example% svcs mysql STATE STIME FMRI disabled 14:27:09 svc:/application/database/mysql:version_50

2. Enable the mysql:version_50 service.

   example%svcadm enable mysql:version_50

3. Check the status of the service.

   example% svcs mysql STATE STIME FMRI online 14:30:08 svc:/application/database/mysql:version_50

   The state of the service is online, and the database server is started successfully.
