smf instance

Returns the specified instance of an smf service. An smf instance represents a particular piece of server software (such as 'Apache').

Iterates over the instances of a service. An smf instance represents a particular piece of server software (such as 'Apache').

Returns the specific service instance to which this property group belongs.

Returns the service instance to which this snapshot belongs.

Returns an smf fmri object representing the 'Fault Management Resource Identifier' of a service instance. The FMRI is used to identify a specific instance of a service for administrative use.

Returns the name of the smf instance object. This is the same as the end component of the FMRI ('Fault Management Resource Identifier') of the instance.

Returns the smf service to which this instance belongs. Each service can have multiple instances which can share configuration with each other as well as maintain individual configuration and characteristics.

Returns the specified smf property group of a particular service instance. An smf property group is a group of name/value pairs that represent configuration settings. Thus, there are some configuration settings that are applicable in general to a particular type of service, and others that are applicable only to a particular instance of a service.

Iterates over property groups of a service instance. An smf property group is a group of name/value pairs that represent configuration settings. Thus, there are some configuration settings that are applicable in general to a particular type of service, and others that are applicable only to a particular instance of a service.

Returns the specified smf snapshot of a service instance. A snapshot is an unchanging picture of the full set of property groups associated with an instance. Snapshots are automatically created and managed by the Service Management Facility. A snapshot consists of a set of snaplevels, each of which holds copies of the property groups associated with an instance or service in the resolution path of the base instance. Typically, there is one snaplevel for the instance and one for the instance's parent service.
