The boot-archive service is controlled by the Service Management Facility (SMF). The boot-archive service instance is svc:/system/boot-archive:default. The svcadm command is used to enable and disable services.
To determine if the boot-archive service is running, use the svcs command.
For more information, see the svcadm(1M) and the svcs(1) man pages.
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
# svcadm enable | disable system/boot-archive
% svcs boot-archive
If the service is running, the output displays an online service state.
STATE STIME FMRI online 9:02:38 svc:/system/boot-archive:default
If the service is not running, the output indicates the service is offline.
