SMF Manifests

An SMF manifest is an XML file that contains a complete set of properties that are associated with a service or a service instance. The files are stored in /var/svc/manifest. Manifests should not be used to modify the properties of a service. The service configuration repository is the authoritative source of configuration information. To incorporate information from the manifest into the repository, you must either run svccfg import or allow the service to import the information during a system boot.

See the service_bundle(4) man page for a complete description of the contents of the SMF manifests. If you need to change the properties of a service, see the svccfg(1M) or inetadm(1M) man pages.
