DNS and the Service Management Facility

The DNS server daemon, named, must be managed by using the Service Management Facility (SMF). For an overview of SMF, refer to Chapter 2, Managing Services (Overview), in Managing Services and Faults in Oracle Solaris 11.1. Also refer to the svcadm(1M), svcs(1), and svccfg(1M) man pages for more details.

The following list provides a short overview of some of the important information needed to use the SMF service to administer the DNS service.

When the DNS server daemon, named, is managed by SMF, the server is automatically restarted when an unexpected event occurs that causes named to exit abnormally. Additionally, you can use the svcadm command to restart the service. The BIND-specific management that is available by using rndc command can be used simultaneously with SMF.
