Hello

In the linked Issue of 7797, https://www.illumos.org/issues/7818 there is talk about an issue the the automated cleanup did not recognize the service was gone. They say that the responsible Script manifest-import is looking at the wrong property to determine that.

They also suggest a way to remove them with "svccfg cleanup".

As your installations are up to date it would interesting to know if you have that patch installed and you are hittng another problem with the cleanup or if that patch is still in the Process of being upstreamed.


Greetings
Till

Hi Brogyi

Could it be that you ran into https://www.illumos.org/issues/7797?
Is your Installation up to date?
Would be interesting to know if that is the case.
Excuse me barging in but I hit that issue on boot up with at least 2
hipster hosts.. one hardware 1 vm

Both are thoroughly up to date last week and updated today to make
sure.

I haven't payed much attention to it since the service is something I
don't currently have need of.  I just assumed it would go away sooner
or later.

svcs -xv

svc:/system/metainit:default (SVM initialization)
  State: maintenance since April 15, 2017 12:01:37 PM EDT
Reason: Start method failed repeatedly, last exited with status 127.
    See: http://illumos.org/msg/SMF-8000-KS
    See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M metainit
    See: /var/svc/log/system-metainit:default.log
Impact: This service is not running.

It is very likely that you both have been hit by 7797 as Till already mentioned. svm has been removed from illumos (and thus from OpenIndiana) a couple of weeks ago. Alas the automatic cleanup of services didn't work under some circumstances and so it could happen that the metainit service (which belongs to svm) is still trying to start.
You will have to manually remove the remnents of it by issuing
     svccfg delete metainit
After that it may also be necessary to run
     svcadm clear metainit

Regards
Andreas
