I have a group of Solaris 10 servers that I patch with BigFix monthly. The problem I’m having is the BESClient randomly fails to start after a reboot. svcs shows BESClient is in maintenance mode and and svcadm clear brings it right up with no problem. Checking the logs it appears that some filesystem is not available when BESClient is trying to start.
So, is there a way to delay this agent startup by 5 or 10 minutes under SMF? I’m assuming I’m not the only one seeing this.
In besclient.xml file I see a dependency on svc:/service/filesystem/minimal and I wonder if that can be changed to something that will assure all the filesystems are mounted before it tries to start BESClient. I’ve been having trouble finding info on what values are available for this dependency and I was hoping someone here might know.
