Resource Pools will be SMF services

Before I left Sun I had started work on enhancements to Resource Pools to integrate them with SMF. I haven't had much time to work on this since I re-joined Sun, mainly because I now work on the OpenSolaris project and Resource Management is not my main focus. However, I was keen to complete the work as I thought it would be a very worthwhile enhancement for Solaris.

I integrated the changes yesterday and when the code becomes available you'll be able to manage Resource Pools and Dynamic Resource Pools as separate SMF services.

e.g.

bash-3.00# uname -a
SunOS trolls-b8 5.11 onnv-gate:2005-12-07 i86pc i386 i86pc
bash-3.00# svcs 'system/pool*'
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online          1:58:20 svc:/system/pools:default
online          1:58:21 svc:/system/pools/dynamic:default
bash-3.00# svcadm disable pools
bash-3.00# svcs 'system/pool*'
STATE          STIME    FMRI
disabled        2:12:34 svc:/system/pools:default
offline         2:12:36 svc:/system/pools/dynamic:default
bash-3.00# svcadm enable pools
bash-3.00# svcs 'system/pool*'
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online          2:12:48 svc:/system/pools:default
online          2:12:48 svc:/system/pools/dynamic:default
bash-3.00#

I hope it's useful
