The Solaris Service Management Facility

Abstract

This tutorial will cover the Service Management Facility (SMF), which is new in Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris. We'll give an overview of the SMF model and how to use it to manage services on Solaris. We'll talk about enhanced security and resource management features that SMF incorporates, and finally talk about creating SMF descriptions so you can include your own services in SMF.

Topics not covered:
We will not cover management of individual application services in Solaris, but focus on common tools available for all services.

Who should attend:
Any Solaris administrator or developer interested delivering services on Solaris and OpenSolaris systems will benefit from this session.
