For an overview of SMF,refer to “Managing Services (Overview)” in System Administration Guide: BasicAdministration. Also refer to the svcadm(1M) and svcs(1) man pages for more details.■Administrative actions on the NIS+ to LDAP transition service, such as enabling,disabling, or restarting, can be performed using the svcadm command.Tip – Temporarily disabling a service by using the -t option provides someprotection for the service configuration. If the service is disabled with the -toption, the original settings would be restored for the service after a reboot. If theservice is disabled without -t, the service will remain disabled after reboot.■■■The NIS+ Fault Managed Resource Identifier (FMRI) issvc:/network/rpc/nisplus:.
