How to Initiate the Network Device Discovery Services by Using SMF

This procedure describes how to initiate, as well as disable, the network device-discovery/printers service (the HAL add-on module) by using the SMF.

1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

2. Determine whether the SMF device-discovery/printers service is online.

   # svcs device-discovery/printers

   If the service is online, the following output is displayed:

   STATE STIME FMRI online 13:30:22 svc:/network/device-discovery/printers:snmp

   If the service is offline, the following output is displayed:

   STATE STIME FMRI disabled Dec_12 svc:/network/device-discovery/printers:snmp

3. To enable or disable the service instance, use the appropriate command.

   • To enable the service, type:

     # svcadm enable printers:snmp

   • To disable the service, type:

     # svcadm disable printers:snmp

4. Verify that the HAL add-on module has been enabled or disabled.

   If the module has been successfully enabled, the output is as follows:

   # svcs device-discovery/printers STATE STIME FMRI online 13:30:22 svc:/network/device-discovery/printers:snmp

   If the module has been successfully disabled, the output is as follows:

   # svcs device-discovery/printers STATE STIME FMRI disabled Dec_12 svc:/network/device-discovery/printers:snmp
