How to Add a New Instance of a Service that is Controlled by inetd

1. Determine the location of the manifest for the service.

   $ svcs -l FMRI
   ...
   manifest     /lib/svc/manifest/path/file.xml

2. Edit the manifest file to add a new instance with appropriate property values.
   1. Copy and paste an existing instance element.
   2. Give the new instance element a unique instance name.
   3. Change the property values as necessary.
3. Add the new instance to the profile file.

   Edit the file /etc/svc/profile/generic.xml to add a new instance element inside the service element for the appropriate service.

4. Restart the manifest import service.

   $ svcadm restart manifest-import 

5. Verify that the new instance has been added.

   Search for the FMRI in the output of the svcs -a or inetadm command.

6. Verify the property values of the new instance.

   $ inetadm -l FMRI
