SCSA10-1 Objective 3.6 - Solaris Service Management Facility, boot process phases

Explain the Service Management Facility and the phases of the boot process.

The Service Management Facility (SMF) in Solaris 10 is a huge improvement over the old means of starting and stopping services or applications. Sun has a great SMF quick start guide that provides an overview of SMF, its capbilities and some tasks. For this objective, it is only necessary to read up to the Common Tasks section.

Sun has concise descriptions of the boot process forSPARC and x86 systems on their documentation site.
