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(8) man page. The dynamic resource pools services are dependent on the resource pools service being enabled.
You can also use the pooladm command described in the pooladm(8) 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
The root role has all service configuration rights. For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.4.
$ svcadm enable system/pools:default
Perform Step 2 before performing this step.
$ svcadm enable system/pools/dynamic:default
To stop the dynamic pools service only, run the following command.
$ svcadm disable system/pools/dynamic:default
To stop all resource pools services, run the preceding and the following command.
$ svcadm disable system/pools:default
In this example, both resource pool services are online.
The administrator disables the resource pools service:
$ svcadm disable svc:/system/pools:default
The DRP service eventually moves to offline because the resource pools service has been disabled:
$ svcs "*pool*" STATE STIME FMRI disabled 2017 svc:/system/pools:default offline 2017 svc:/system/pools/dynamic:default
The administrator determines why the DRP service is offline.
$ svcs -x "*pool*" svc:/system/pools:default (resource pools framework) State: disabled since Sun Feb 04 02:36:15 2017 Reason: Disabled by an administrator. See: http://support.oracle.com/msg/SMF-8000-05 See: libpool(3LIB) See: pooladm(8) See: poolbind(8) See: poolcfg(8) See: poolstat(8) Impact: 1 dependent service is not running. (Use -v for list.) svc:/system/pools/dynamic:default (dynamic resource pools) State: offline since Sun Feb 04 02:36:15 2017 Reason: Service svc:/system/pools:default is disabled. See: http://support.oracle.com/msg/SMF-8000-GE See: poold(8) See: /var/svc/log/system-pools-dynamic:default.log Impact: This service is not running.
Resource pools must be online for DRP to be online.
So the administrator enables the resource pools service.
$ svcadm enable system/pools:default
After the resource pools service is re-enabled, the dynamic resource pools are again online:
$ svcs "*pool*" STATE STIME FMRI online 2017 svc:/system/pools:default online 2017 svc:/system/pools/dynamic:default
