You can enable and disable the resource pools and dynamic resource pools services on your system by using the svcadm command described in the svcadm(1M) man page.
You can also use the pooladm command described in the pooladm(1M) man page to perform the following tasks:
Enable the pools facility so that pools can be manipulated
Disable the pools facility so that pools cannot be manipulated
When a system is upgraded, if the resource pools framework is enabled and an /etc/pooladm.conf file exists, the pools service is enabled and the configuration contained in the file is applied to the system.
Become superuser, or assume a role that includes the Process Management profile.
The System Administrator role includes the Process Management profile. For more information about roles, see Using the Solaris Management Tools With RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.
Enable the resource pools service.
# svcadm enable system/pools:default |

Disable the resource pools service.
# svcadm disable system/pools:default |
Become superuser, or assume a role that includes the Service Management rights profile.
Enable the dynamic resource pools service.
# svcadm enable system/pools/dynamic:default |
This example shows that you must first enable resource pools if you want to run DRP.
There is a dependency between resource pools and dynamic resource pools. DRP is now a dependent service of resource pools. DRP can be independently enabled and disabled apart from resource pools.
The following display shows that both resource pools and dynamic resource pools are currently disabled:
# svcs *pool* STATE STIME FMRI disabled 10:32:26 svc:/system/pools/dynamic:default disabled 10:32:26 svc:/system/pools:default |
Enable dynamic resource pools :
# svcadm enable svc:/system/pools/dynamic:default # svcs -a | grep pool disabled 10:39:00 svc:/system/pools:default offline 10:39:12 svc:/system/pools/dynamic:default |
Note that the DRP service is still offline.
Use the -x option of the svcs command to determine why the DRP service is offline:
# svcs -x *pool* svc:/system/pools:default (resource pools framework) State: disabled since Wed 25 Jan 2006 10:39:00 AM GMT Reason: Disabled by an administrator. See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-05 See: libpool(3LIB) See: pooladm(1M) See: poolbind(1M) See: poolcfg(1M) See: poolstat(1M) See: /var/svc/log/system-pools:default.log Impact: 1 dependent service is not running. (Use -v for list.) svc:/system/pools/dynamic:default (dynamic resource pools) State: offline since Wed 25 Jan 2006 10:39:12 AM GMT Reason: Service svc:/system/pools:default is disabled. See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-GE See: poold(1M) See: /var/svc/log/system-pools-dynamic:default.log Impact: This service is not running. |
Enable the resource pools service so that the DRP service can run:
# svcadm enable svc:/system/pools:default |
When the svcs *pool* command is used, the system displays:
# svcs *pool* STATE STIME FMRI online 10:40:27 svc:/system/pools:default online 10:40:27 svc:/system/pools/dynamic:default |
If both services are online and you disable the resource pools service:
# svcadm disable svc:/system/pools:default |
When the svcs *pool* command is used, the system displays:
# svcs *pool* STATE STIME FMRI disabled 10:41:05 svc:/system/pools:default online 10:40:27 svc:/system/pools/dynamic:default # svcs *pool* STATE STIME FMRI disabled 10:41:05 svc:/system/pools:default online 10:40:27 svc:/system/pools/dynamic:default |
But eventually, the DRP service moves to offline because the resource pools service has been disabled:
# svcs *pool* STATE STIME FMRI disabled 10:41:05 svc:/system/pools:default offline 10:41:12 svc:/system/pools/dynamic:default |
Determine why the DRP service is offline:
# svcs -x *pool* svc:/system/pools:default (resource pools framework) State: disabled since Wed 25 Jan 2006 10:41:05 AM GMT Reason: Disabled by an administrator. See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-05 See: libpool(3LIB) See: pooladm(1M) See: poolbind(1M) See: poolcfg(1M) See: poolstat(1M) See: /var/svc/log/system-pools:default.log Impact: 1 dependent service is not running. (Use -v for list.) svc:/system/pools/dynamic:default (dynamic resource pools) State: offline since Wed 25 Jan 2006 10:41:12 AM GMT Reason: Service svc:/system/pools:default is disabled. See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-GE See: poold(1M) See: /var/svc/log/system-pools-dynamic:default.log Impact: This service is not running. |
Resource pools must be started for DRP to work. For example, resource pools could be started by using the pooladm command with the -e option:
# pooladm -e |
Then the svcs *pool* command displays:
# svcs *pool* STATE STIME FMRI online 10:42:23 svc:/system/pools:default online 10:42:24 svc:/system/pools/dynamic:default |
