Question I installed Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 from native packages by using the Java ES installer on Solaris 10. Now I cannot use dsadm autostart to start Directory Server at boot time. The command tells me a package is missing, as in the following example. What gives?
# /opt/SUNWdsee/ds6/bin/dsadm autostart /export/home/ds SUNWldap-directory-config is not installed. This subcommand is not supported on this platform # /opt/SUNWdsee/dps6/bin/dpadm autostart /export/home/dps SUNWldap-proxy-config is not installed. This subcommand is not supported on this platform # pkginfo SUNWldap-directory-config ERROR: information for "SUNWldap-directory-config" was not found # pkginfo SUNWldap-proxy-config ERROR: information for "SUNWldap-proxy-config" was not found
Answer The *-config packages contain only RC scripts. On Solaris 10, SMF is the preferred way to start and stop a server automatically. So the *-config packages are not installed on Solaris 10.
Use the enable-service command instead of autostart.
dsadm enable-service -T SMF /export/home/ds
