The following system configuration and SMF feature changes have been made:
Oracle Auto Service Request utility – Customers who have a valid My Oracle Support account to automatically log service requests can use this utility. See System Registration and Customer Support Changes.
SMF administrative layers – Enable you to record the source of properties, property groups, instances, and services. This information enables you to determine which settings are administrative customizations, which settings were provided in an SMF profile, and which settings were delivered by an SMF manifest. See SMF Administrative Changes.
SMF manifest creation tool – You can use the svcbundle command to generate SMF manifests, as well as profiles. See svcbundle (1M) .
System Configuration Interactive (SCI) utility – Centralizes configuration information through SMF. The sysconfig utility replaces the sys-unconfig and sysidtool utilities that are used in Oracle Solaris 10. See System Configuration Tools Changes.
System registration With Oracle Configuration Manager – Collects configuration information and then anonymously uploads it to the Oracle repository during the first reboot of a system after an installation. See System Registration and Customer Support Changes.
