Oracle Solaris: Hotplugd(1M) Daemon Must Be Started Before Initiating Hot Plug Actions In Oracle Solaris 10 OS 09/10 (7005233)

Starting with Oracle Solaris 10 OS 09/10, hot plug actions with the Virtualized M2 NEM cannot be initiated until the hotplugd(1M) daemon is started. The hot plug daemon provides user-level services for the management of hot plug connections. It is a system daemon started by the Service Management Facility. Its fault management resource identifier (FMRI) is:

svc:/system/hotplug:default

The hotplug(1M) command and any other client program that uses the private .libhotplug library to query information about hotplug connections or initiate hot plug commands depends on this daemon.

Workaround

Before attempting to initiate a hot plug action in Solaris 10 OS 09/10, or later, start the hot plug daemon.

• To enable the hotplug daemon, enter the following command:

  # svcadm enable svc:/system/hotplug:default
