hi all,
i am trying to enable pool service
but i recive this message
-bash-3.00# pooladm
pooladm: couldn't open pools state file: Facility is not active
-bash-3.00# pooladm -e
svcadm: Instance "svc:/system/pools:default" is in maintenance state.
pooladm: cannot enable pools: Error 0
-bash-3.00# svcs -a | grep -i pool
offline 11:52:23 svc:/system/pools/dynamic:default
maintenance 11:53:13 svc:/system/pools:default
what can i do to solve this problem
how does your pool configfile look? without a configuration the pool service won't start.
from pooladm manpage:
DESCRIPTION
The pooladm command provides administrative operations on
pools and sets. pooladm reads the specified filename and
attempts to activate the pool configuration contained in it.
Before updating the current pool run-time configuration,
pooladm validates the configuration for correctness.
Without options, pooladm prints out the current running
pools configuration.
hi DukeNuke
i didn't make any configuration for pooladm
i just # pooladm -e to enable the service
to start configuration
svcs -l svc:/system/pools:default
should give you more info. However, just as DukeNuke2 have said - check the configuration.
as i said earlier... no config, no pool service. why should the service be running if there isn't a config for that?
