Writing a Service Probe for the Zone SMF Resource

The zone SMF resource provides the ability to enable, disable, and probe an SMF service within a zone that is of brand type solaris, solaris10 or solaris-kz . The zone SMF resource depends on the zone boot resource. Probing the SMF service is performed by running a command or script against the SMF service. The SMF service and probe command or script names are passed to the zone SMF resource when the resource is registered. The probe command or script must meet the following requirements.

  • The probe command or script must contain the fully qualified path within the zone.

  • The probe command or script must be executable by root.

  • The probe command or script must return one of the following return codes.

# cat /var/tmp/probe-apache2
# !/usr/bin/ksh
if echo "GET; exit" | mconnect -p 80 > /dev/null 2>&1
then
exit 0
else
exit 100
fi

# chmod 755 /var/tmp/probe-apache2
