SMF-8000-GE

One or more required services are not running

Type

Defect

Severity

Minor

Description

The service is offline because it depends on a service which is not running.

Automated Response

No automated response.

Impact

The service is not running. It will remain offline until its dependencies are met, when the Solaris Service Manager will attempt to start it. Services with require-type dependencies on the service will not be started. (Use svcs -xv service_fmri to see a list of services which are waiting for the service to start.)

Suggested Action for System Administrator

Use svcs -x dependency_fmri to determine why the dependency service is not running. Once it is running, the service will be started.

Details

If a service is enabled and its dependencies are met, the Solaris Service Manager will send a start command to the service's restarter, which may be the Solaris Service Manager itself. Dependencies other than exclude-type dependencies are satisfied when the indicated services are running (online or degraded states).

The Message ID: SMF-8000-GE indicates that the Solaris Service Manager determined that the service's dependencies are not met. This outcome can indicate a misunderstanding of the requirements of various software components, a misconfiguration of the system, or a defect in Solaris.

See "Predictive Self-Healing" for additional information and the "SMF How To Guide" to clear dependencies.

If the service does not start, contact Sun Service with the output of svcs -xv, svcs -l, and /var/svc/log for associated service. See svcs(1) for additional syntax.
